It's a fungal infection , even if it appears symptomatic treatment can be done. The dark patches will remain even after the treatment is done .they take some more time to generalise with normal skin colour
Next Steps
personal hygiene , drying the clothes in sun

Wear cottons. Apply antifungal powder after bath. Keep dry. First treat it. For treatment kindly consult.
