Trying to Fix Years of Poor Intimate Hygiene and Insecurity, Please Help

I’m a 24 year old man and I’m struggling with very poor intimate hygiene due to a long period of depression where I stopped taking care of myself. I know it’s not an excuse, and I genuinely regret letting things get this bad. Because of this, my private area is very dark, doesn’t look healthy, and often feels dirty, and I really want to change that and take proper care of myself again. I’m extremely insecure about it and afraid that a future partner might be uncomfortable or regret being with me.

I’m trying to improve my life and hygiene step by step, so I’m asking for genuine help, any advice, tips, routines, step-by-step guidance, or product recommendations that could help me clean the area properly, improve the skin over time, and maintain good hygiene moving forward would mean a lot. I know this is embarrassing and awkward to talk about, and I am genuinely sorry if its in appropriate to ask.
