Darkening of thighs and butt
I really don't know how I got a huge black patch(darker than the skin nearby or the other butt) on my butt. This I think is prevalent for past 7 8 years.
And my inner thighs have also got some discoloration. What should I do?
And how did it happen?

But a clear picture is needed for diagnosis.

Hello. The darkening can be due to friction. If only on one side other causes should be ruled out. Proper consultation can help you. If it is only pigmentation then depigmenting creams and lotion can help lighten it.
