Question : Hi. I just noticed 2 dark lines between my butt cheeks where the cheeks meet. It doesn't itch or burn, it's not irritated and it's not bumpy. Its smooth and feels normal but I've never noticed this before. Can u possibly diagnose this and give me a remedy to get rid of it?

Brief Answer:
Doesn't seem to be anything to worry.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

If it doesn't itch or burn, if it is not irritated or bumpy I don't think it is something to worry about.
It can be normal possibly caused by friction.
You can use exfoliating scrub once a week to help remove the dark skin .
I don't think you have to worry about it.

Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
Thanks.

Thank u for the quick response. I will definitely try an exfoliant scrub. Also, do u think I can use XXXXXXX (which is a skin lightening cream) in that area? And would it hurt if I tried Lotrimin on it?
