My labia minora suddenly turned darker is this normal?
Hi everyone, I’m a little worried and wanted to ask if anyone has experienced something similar.
I noticed recently that a part of my labia minora, which I remember being pink before, has become noticeably darker/greyish-brown. The rest of my vulva has always had some natural pigmentation, but this particular area seems different from how I remember it.
I’ve attached a photo for reference. I don’t have significant pain or anything like that, but the surrounding area looks a little irritated.
Has anyone experienced their labia minora changing color like this? Can irritation/friction cause this, and does the color usually go back to normal? Or should I get it checked by a gynecologist?
I’d really appreciate experiences/advice, because I’m honestly overthinking it.
