Hi,
Thanks for writing in.

If your doctor has examined you completely and told that it is a fungal infection then it must be one. Please do not worry about the skin color changes after applying the anti fungal ointments. The itching and burning is important to be treated. The discoloration or change in color can occur during or after treatment and is not a concern. Please trim your pubic hairs and wear cotton inner clothes. Wash your genitals with warm water at lest twice daily. Apply the anti fungal ointment twice daily and keep your genital regions dry. Treatment can be extended for about a month to completely cure your condition.
