Dark Round Spots Appearing on Vulva and Bikini Line

[Juliette_Khat]

Hello, I am 24 year old female. The first time I noticed a small tan spot on my bikini line was about 6 years ago and I assumed it was a birth mark that I haven’t noticed before. I recently shaved and noticed that I have 3 more spots that appeared on my vulva and they have gotten bigger over the last few months. My husband tells me it’s nothing to worry about, but I can’t sleep at night. The spots have a very soft surface, softer that my skin. They all seem to be round and are the same tan color. I’ve always had the same sexual partner and try to have a pretty healthy diet. If someone has any information I would be very greatful!

Sometimes a change in the skin tone can be totally normal, in that area I have heard that even hormones can cause it.  However, if you are concerned, it doesn't hurt to head to your doctor- even if it's mentioning it at your regular yearly check up.
