Abnormal Labia Minora?

by ck003, Jun 18, 2007 12:00AM
I guess this question can be answered myself...I know it is abnormal and plan to go to the gyno...calling to schedule one tomorrow but wondering if anyone out there has any insight.

My labia minora is discolored just one side..its like purplish colored on the end and longer than the other side(labia). Im barely twenty and its been like this for awhile not sure what it is...I can't imagine it being from sex. I've had sex 5times.

Help please

I am a nurse and I would like to try and help you with your question.  The first thing that comes to mind is that you might be of African or Asian decent.  If so, then it most surely could be just pigment change in the skin that area, just like you might have a brown spot or mole somewhere else on your body.  Actually Caucasians can have mole's in that area to, but darker skinned individuals can have darker spots.  Anyway, I don't think it has anything at all to do with sex either.  It is also very normal for the labia to be different sizes and lengths on the female.  Some labia can be bumpy kind of like "raw chicken skin", other is smooth and thin.  Every woman is different there.  However, I feel you should seek medical advice, see a Nurse Practitioner or a Doctor just so that they can see the darker spot and make sure that it is not anything serious.  Unfortunately, skin pathologies do occur in this area and in young people.  Although the odds are on your side that you are perfect the way the Lord made you, just get a quick check.  Bless you and take care of you!

I HAVE THE SAME THING. i just googled discolored labia to see if i could find anything about it. I don't feel like it's always been this way though.. just recently I've noticed it's longer and on the edge of it is a purple-ish tender area. I'm glad i'm not the only one but i wish i knew what it was.

I have the same thing also, but I can't go to a doctor because I'm only 16 and have no way of getting there without asking my parents. It's not because of sex though, i know this for sure because I've never had it. I wish that I knew what this was, and if it can be fixed.

i have noticed recently, that my inner thighs have taken on a tan look which is odd because I am ghostly pale and my legs never see the light of day, and it's only in a small are near my vagina. Also, my inner labia have turned from their normal pink to brown and feel bruised. My outer labia has taken on a more red tone.... I'm scared. I cannot go to the doctor anytime soon because they have a waiting list for annuals...

Oh and also, haven't had sex in two months. Been having sex with one guy who is faithful, since January, and not experienced anything like this before. Also noticed the brown tint spreading from labia to vaginal opening and slightly inside.... I have a darker brown spot on the side of my clitoral hood, which also feels bruised...
Suggestions! Help Please!!!!!
