I have 2 almost circular shaped dark brown patches near the genital area.. they re a little itchi and scaly. There s no swelling as such but it is growing in size.. there was only 1 apot earlier but now another one has formed... U think it is a problem or is it expected to go on its own?

Hello,
The rash could possibly be fungal (tinea) infection. Follow up with your primary provider for the confirmation of diagnosis. Meanwhile, use Lotrimin ointment twice daily for 14 days. Hydrocortisone 1% can be applied to relieve itch.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
