About 4 weeks ago, i shaved my pubic hair and noticed that it was pigmented. also, my urehtral opening is black. no pain no itching no other issues.

Normal: The labial skin and surrounding structures, such as the urethra, are often more darkly pigmented than the adjacent skin of the thighs and abdomen. Also, in the area that has been shaved, the remaining hair roots will cause the skin to appear slightly darker than surrounding skin.
