Hello and welcome.

The black color is due to the fungal infection. The region affected is exposed to moisture all through the day and your aim should be to avoid moist surroundings in this particular region.

So try cleaning the region regularly and keeping it dry. You can also use talcum powders that will keep the region dry. This along with anti-fungal creams can help.

Best wishes.
