Suggest Treatment For Dark Patch Of Skin On The Interior Of Buttock

Hello,My name is Linda and I am a 37 year old African-American female.My husband noticed a darker patch of skin right on the interior of my buttocks.Some areas are lighter in color than others - it s doesn t itch nor is there any pain associated with the spot. I wouldn t have even known it was there unless my husband pointed it out. Do you know what this could be, please? Thanks
