Dirt on skin over many years.PLEASE HELP

Question

Asked for Female, 15 Years

Hi, this feels extremely weird for me to write about but I need help. I am a teen in highschool and I have this embarrassing problem on my skin. Below my stomach around the center of my hips I have this built up dirt. For many years I wash and I wash and I wash and it just never comes off. I’ve tried kojic acid soap but it doesn’t work. It’s dark and looks very bad. I am very insecure about this and it’s been so many years and it just won’t go away with my excessive scrubbing. I need help please
