What Does Light Brown Patches On The Groin Skin Suggest?

Hey there, I have had 2 smallish light brown patches on my skin just above my groin for the last 2 months. They are about the size of a coin and don t itch, hurt or anything. They have become more prominent over time and i am wondering if they will go away. I also suspect i have another smaller one forming above my belly button but am not sure yet. Thx

Hello,

I believe it can be a yeast infection or ringworm. You can take antifungal ointment to use on it.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
