How To Reverse The Discolouration Of The Skin On Buttocks?
Hi, I have discolouration between my butt cheeks. I am not sure what the cause it but it is there. There is no funny sensation, it just discolouration. I noticed it about 6 months ago and it has stayed the same colour. I have begun to exfoliate the area and have notice a very very small difference. Is there something that I can use or do to speed up the process

Hi,
It seems that the discoloration between buttocks may be due to intergluteal intertrigo. It may be caused by candidiasis. It is caused by Candida albicans.
You should be investigated to rule out DM. Apply antifungal cream like clotrimazole and take tab ketoconazole. Avoid soap bath. Have bath with dettol water. Keep the area dry. You may be alright. Still, you consult dermatologist. I hope you got my answer.
