Your Bod
My skin is discolored!
Those dark patches—called hyperpigmentation—are likely side effects of eczema, which can be caused by irritants like elastic in your underwear, or fragrance or preservatives in soaps, lotions and detergents.
To rid yourself of these under-bum circles, try switching to fragrance-free products and moisturize well. Our guess is that these dark circles really aren’t noticeable to anyone but you, so wear those spankies without worry.
If you just can’t let it go, though, a visit to a dermatologist is the only way to get to the, um, bottom of this.
