As we grow, our private areas like the vagina, scrotum, and anus become dark in colour. The vagina includes the clitoris, dark labia, hymen, and urethral opening.

First of all, It is completely normal. The fact that the skin on your anus, scrotum, and labia are darker than the skin elsewhere on your body is completely normal. This darkening is called hyperpigmentation.

Reasons for dark skin;

• Friction causes dark private areas
• Hormones like estrogen cause dark areas
• PCOS also causes dark patches around the vagina
• Tight, ill-fitted undies
• Darkening in your genital area usually comes with age

We know that you don't like these changes but it's usually not dangerous. But if you are noticing any sudden color change, Its better to see a doctor!
