Could you help me figure out how to lighten the skin between my thighs? It's gotten darker, maybe from friction or wearing tight jeans. Also, near the scrotum, the skin is darker because I had ringworm there as a child. What can I do about this?

I'm really concerned about whether Candid cream is steroidal or not. Is it safe to use this for treating candidiasis? I want to make sure I'm not using something that's too strong or might cause side effects. Would love some guidance on this!

Candid cream contains Clotrimazole, which is an antifungal medication used to treat fungal infections like candidiasis. It is not a steroid cream. You can apply Candid cream topically to the affected area 2-3 times a day for effective treatment of candidiasis.

I'm using this Kozicare skin whitening soap with ingredients like Kozic acid, Glutathione, Arbutin, and Vitamins C and E. It's really moisturized and feels great, but I'm concerned about a few things. Is it safe for regular use, and does it really lighten the skin as advertised? I've seen some YouTube videos mentioning it might only temporarily lighten the skin, and then it goes back to normal. Are there possibly better options out there? I'm also curious whether it's suitable for sensitive skin types. And does the Kozicare cream work for lightening skin tone and dark patches?
