my back hip is very black and skin is dried due to tight clothes

Hello Anonymous,

Welcome to EmpowHER. Thank you for seeking our help.

Are you a dark skinned individual? How long have you had this increased area of pigmentation?

Have you stopped wearing tight clothes? If not, start today.

Have you applied body lotion to the area of dry skin? Do you have any allergies to ingredients in skin care products? If not, apply a gentle body lotion to the area of dry skin.

Regardless of your skin color, I think you need to have this area looked at by your primary care physician, who may refer you to a dermatologist.

Please keep us updated,
Maryann
