skin discoloration in armpits and vaginal area
I am white, and I have dark skin discoloration under my arms and in the vaginal area. It is embarrassing to me to even go to the doctor to ask about it because it looks "dirty". Is there any way that I can fix this problem or is it normal?
My daughter is 7 and also overweight . very overweight. I have also noticed dark areas on her neck. armpits, and between her legs . I am writing u because I rread the comment that you posted and wanted to hear more about the metabolic disorder u mentioned , any bit of information would be helpful.
Ugh i just noticed this too! I hate that gray looking color. My Gynecologist has never mentioned any concerns though.So I am guessing it is normal! But Gross!'

There is. Go to Google and look up home remedies for vaginal discoloration and pigmentation and it tells you how to get rid of it and also tells you what all causes it
I also have the same thing and my doctor told me it is called a skin pigmentation and it occurs in the vaginal area, back of the neck and armpits and it can be curred by ointment from the doctor or certain pills from the doctor but if the discoloration is underneath the skin layer then there is no cure for it
I actually have the same problem and I went to the doctor to be checked because I was concerned and they told me it is called a skin pigmentation and it is usually caused in women overweight they gave me a piece of paper with ALL of the reasons that this may occur which is 1.Ageing 2.Regular application of talcum powder to the vaginal area 3.Diseases like cushings disease and acromegaly 4.Disorders in the skin,liver,intestines, or adrenal glands 5.Excess production of melanin 6.Gastric cancer 7.Heredity 8.Hormonal imbalances 9. Hyperthyroidism 10. Caused from Yeast infections 11.Malnutrition or deficiancy of certain vitamins 12.Obesity 13.Polycistic overarian syndrome 14.Shaving the vaginal area too often 15.Using certain (cheap) shaving creams and body washes 16.Wearing tight clothing or tight Underwear made from synthetic material. Those are ALL of the symptoms as to why skin discoloration takes place my doctor said its called a SKIN PIGMENTATION and it accurs in the neck,armpits and groin and there is pills and ointment your doctor is supposed to give you for it but if they don't then go to Google and search home remedies for vaginal skin discoloration and pigmentation and it also tells you the causes for it if nobody believes what I've said here today but thanks to everyone who takes the time to read this, god bless you all!!!
