Help docs? why is my vagina area so dark?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pigmentation: Depending upon your race, the vulva and labia will have a greater concentration of melanocytes(pigment) and hair follicles resulting in a darker color appearance then the rest of your skin. Hispanics, African Americans and others with darker skin tones will be most impacted.
