Skin texture & color: This is normal. There is nothing to worry about. Also, in regards to masturbation. Masturbation is a normal and common part of the human experience. There are no medical reasons not to masturbate or to limit one's sexual activities.

Normal: Some asymmetry is quite normal. If aesthetically or functionally "symptomatic", labia minora reduction surgery may be the answer.

Not unusual: Variation in color from one side to the other is very normal unless it is actively changing or bleeding. In this case you should discuss with your gynecologist for possible biopsy. Repeated friction may cause thickening and darkening of the skin much in the same way you will form callouses on your feet if you do not wear shoes, .
