Wondering about marks
I have noticed that i have a large dark mark by my rear hole. What could this be? It is like a patch where my skin is very dark and its a fair size is this normal?

Suzi, it might be due to skin irritation, a superficial fungal infection and a host of other skin disorders. You can try an anti-fungal cream, but if it doesn’t go away within a week or two, the best would be to see your doctor. Good luck.
