It sounds like you may have a chronic fungal infection causing the jock itch and skin discoloration. To treat this, I recommend using an antifungal cream containing Clotrimazole. You can apply it twice daily to the affected areas for at least 2 weeks. In addition, taking oral antifungal medication like Fluconazole may also be necessary in severe cases. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry to prevent further infection. To help restore the original skin color, you can use a skin lightening cream containing Hydroquinone. Apply a thin layer to the darkened areas once daily, preferably at night.
