Dark Buttock skin: This is not an uncommon problem especially in teenagers as the buttock skin as well as knees or elbows can hyperpigment due to many factors: hygiene, skin friction with tight guarment, bicycling, prolonged stiing, post-acne scars etc. Generally not a health risk. Try lemon cocobutter, as a home remedy. Acne scarring needs exfoliation. Also may try hydroquinone containing products to lighten skin.
