Suggest Treatment For Discolouration On The Buttocks
I work out roughly 5 days a week I have a birth mark just on my upper left buttocks lighter than my poignant. I have been dieting restricting carbs and cutting portions. There is now a noticeable discoloration above it now both the size of my entire thumb. I m African American and female. The discoloration seems to be growing slowly and I now notice an indentation there but no pain. What is this?
