Pathologist and Microbiologist, Dr. Shailja Puri's Response

Hello and welcome to HCM,
Discoloration of the buttock region can be due to some skin disease or some systemic disease.
Pigmented lesions are a group of skin diseases caused by abnormality of melanophages of pigment containing cells in the skin.
Besides skin related disorder, certain systemic diseases like adrenal diseases can cause hyper-pigmentation.

I suggest you to consult a skin specialist for clinical assessment, relevant investigations and management.

Thanks and take care
Dr Shailja P Wahal
