Variable: Aging, hormone imbalance, increase melanin, talcum powder, frequent shaving, weight gain, infections, tight synthetic undergarments and some soaps, creams can all darken labial skin. Watch specifically for blue/black discoloration. I have diagnosed two melanoma cancers of the vulva over the years. Lichen sclerosis usually lightens the skin. See a physician for visual examination of the vulva.
