Genetic variation: Variation of pigmentation is a genetic mutation that might be unique to you or your ancestors. See if other members of your family are affected similar. You also get 1/2 your genes from each parent, are their skin colors different? My daughter has 1/2 of her stomach 3 shades darker than the other half right down the middle of her stomach. That changed after she had children and the tones blended

May be congenital : The distribution of melanin (dark skin pigment) doesn't always happen to be symmetrical. Some are born with darker skin certain skin areas for unclear reasons or due to genetic inheritance. If you feel there's something unusual like itch, pain, scaley changes, etc, you need to see your doctor.
