I've noticed some black spots on my buttocks and I'm wondering what could be causing them. Do you think they'll fade away on their own, or is there something I should do? If there's a cream that might help reduce them, could you let me know what it is?

could be due to post inflamation You can use a gentle scrub or a chemical exfoliant like salicylic acid or glycolic acid to exfoliate the skin. However, be gentle, as over-exfoliation can make pigmentation worse.You can use skin-lightening creams that contain ingredients like:

Niacinamide: Helps lighten dark spots and even out skin tone. Vitamin C: Reduces pigmentation and brightens the skin. Hydroquinone: A bleaching agent that can help fade dark spots over time (but should be used with caution and under dermatological supervision). Alpha Arbutin: A mild skin lightener that reduces dark spots.
