Jock itch skin discolouration

Dear Patient: Thank you for writing to us.

I think that you have rubbed the skin on your legs off causing it to grow back in a dark colour. This happens commonly in people especially after jock itch. You can try drinking a lot of water and use Mometasone cream in a small quantity to help you.

The Mometasone is a steroid cream which helps the skin to heal. If you get some other colour discoloration or develop pain, please see a Doctor. Hope this helps you.

All the best.
