What Could Dark Discoloration Around The Anus Indicate?

I am a white women age 37 I ve noticed the color of my skin around my anus has changed over time to a very dark color. I m naturally a darker skin toned person for being white but the color around my anus is very dark compared to my vagina. What could be the cause of this?
