Black mark on vagina.

[daniedwards]

Hello!!

I’ve recently noticed a black mark on my vagina but it’s only noticeable when my labia is pulled apart. It’s painless and flat (sort of like a bruise), causes no discomfort at all. It just makes me feel slightly self-conscious and I’m worried about what it could be. I’m a virgin so I know that it’s not an STD or anything like that.

Thank you in advance.

First, trust me, no lover down the road will be thinking about the oddity of a black spot inside the folds of your vulva.  :>)  They will just be into the moment and good chance they won't notice.  This is a private area and honestly, not a big deal to have a 'spot'.  However, what is the spot?  It's new??  Hm.  Well, you may not see an ob/gyn yet but will probably start in the near future.  If you do see one, great.  because at some point, if it remains, you should have it looked at by a doctor.  Don't panic, I'm sure that sounds embarrassing. But really, cross my heart, hope to die (not really on the hope to die part)---  doctors do NOT care.  They see it all and a little spot on the skin around someone's vulva is not a big deal to them!  So, at your next or first ob/gyn pelvic exam, ask the doctor what they think of it.  And you 'could' always ask your mom to check it out to see if you need to see the doctor soon.  :>)  I know that is like not ideal but hey, moms are there to help!  Keep your eye on it.  If it changes in any way again other than disappearing, then escalate your trip to the doctor and get there sooner.  good luck

Hi,

I don’t know how long it’s been there for if I am being honest, I only noticed it last night. I spoke to an online doctor and sent them a photo and they said that it looked like melanoma which automatically panicked me. My mum is actually at the doctors today so I’m going to book an appointment and go down with her to see if they can get me in sooner.

It’s definitely not a spot. It’s flat, not raised in the slightest and it’s kind of like a black/brown colour. I don’t really know how to describe it.

Thank you for your comments, they are appreciated.
