A Caucasian newborn's anal area looks just like the rest of the skin. Over time, fecal bowel movements and expulsion of gas continue to permanently stain the skin so the area becomes darker than nearby skin. Obviously, this staining looks darker in dark skinned people.

Why is the skin around the anus darker?

For one thing, the skin around the anus represents a change from external epithelium (skin) to the internal epithelium that lines the end of the digestive tract. These layers overlap and make that small region of skin thicker. Another thing is that the epithelium surrounding the anus is more keratinised than the surrounding skin and thus appears darker.
