I've been dealing with this skin fungal infection for 34 years, and though I'm finally better, I'm left with scars all over my body that really bother me. They're in dark and light patches and spots, especially on my chest, waist, the sides of private areas, my back, and even my right leg below the knee. Theyre also under my left armpit and I get light dark spots on my face. What can I do to treat these scars? Are there any soaps or creams you'd recommend for long-term use?
