A member asked:

Why is the skin around my vagina and inner thighs turning a yellowish colour?

Dr. Jeff Livingston answered

Specializes in Obstetrics and Gynecology

Examination: We will not be able to make a diagnosis regarding skin discoloration without being able to do an examination. Some women develop a darkening of the vulva due to insulin resistance, weight gain or pre diabetes. See you Obgyn and let them evaluate the vulva and see if any testing is needed
