The intergluteal cleft in most people is slightly darker in most people due to increased vascularity of the region and also due to bacterial colonisation. Topical mild steroid cream like mometasone can be applied over the affected area. Topical depigmenting agents like kojic acid and arbutin can also be used. Consult your dermatologist regarding the above mentioned therapy. Regards
