    Default Dry skin , dark spot on my tail bone area

    Hey so I am sitting here googling my issue with no luck , I am moving in a week and it takes like 2 weeks to get an appointment with my Dr . Hopefully someone here can help me !

    Right at the top of my butt , end of my tail bone I have this dry skin spot and its a few shades darker then the rest of my skin . I want to get rid of it but I am not sure how ? My daughter had something similar on her side when she was a baby and some vaseline a couple times a day took care of it . If I use too much lotion or whatever on my butt area I break out , which in our business isnt a good thing ....neither is a dark stain on your bum .....


    Tanning seems to help a little but only to mask it I am sure , I want to get rid of it . I use baby oil after every shower but that isnt enough , I exfoliate the area and that helps a little but again not enough ....

    Anyone have a suggestion ?? Its really not cute

    You can try using a razor to shave the area and speed up exfoliation. Kee moisturizing and gently shaving the dead skin away, and this should help.

    I had the exact same problem, in that exact spot a few months ago! I bought some Hydrocortisone and put it there twice a day, and it helped

    Hmmmm , interesting , I wonder why ?? Well that sounds easy enough so I will try that also ... I am going back to my old club to dance and I havent been there in like 5 yrs .... they are pretty well lit so I am extra concerned about the issue ...

    it might be a callus, like you get on your feet and hands. i think i've had one of those before, if we're talking about the same thing. exfoliate it and use an oil free moisturizer on it.

    they actually make these callus remover things you can get at walgreens/beauty stores/wherever, and they've got rough silver pads on them. they work great on your feet, try using one gently there.

This night is gonna end when we're damn well ready for it to be over, worked all week long, and now the music is playing on our time. Yeah we do what we do to get by, and then we need a release!" - Against Me!, "Thrash Unreal"

    mine was on my top vertebrae before my neck started, and i got it from the pole and from floorwork when i first started dancing. i figured there's a lot of bones on your back that you can rub too hard too often, so it could be the same thing.


    good luck though.
