A member asked:

My labia majora is darker than my skin tone, as in like black. what cause this and how can i bring it back to its original color?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Need exam: While a change in pigmentation might be completely normal with age, if you have noticed a dramatic change in the color over a short period of time to "black" then i think a visit with an ob/gyn seems like an excellent idea.
