Darker skin in pubic, genital, rectum areas and between legs.
The area between the vagina and the anus, the pubic area and the upper part of my inner thighs are significantly darker than the rest of my skin (is very embarrassing). I am a white Latin woman and I do not use oral contraceptives. I shave the vaginal and rectum area about 2 to 3 times a months. Could the shaving be the cause of the darkening? If so which is the best alternative to shaving? I do not seem to have any kind of irritation. I started to use hydroquinone 2% about a month ago, but I don
I have been to a gynecologist and dermatologist about this same problem. I'm a very white skin latina. I was told that this difference in color is completely normal, specially if you sweat a lot in those areas, and there really isn't anything to be done for it medicalwise. However, a cosmetologist might have better suggestions (specially if you are in the US).
Hope this helps.
Cheers!

I am 15 years old, 160-165lbs. I am white but my skin "down there" is darker then my skin tone but quite a bit. My armpits aren't darker though, but I do have quite a few skin tags under my arms. Is this normal?
i am a guy and had similar question on why i get darker penis skin. doctor told me it was normal if i do ejaculation. its normal since you are rubbing the skin and as a result, the dark color. same as when fats between legs slides between each other when your walking or running. immediate solution to this is applying lubrication. but permanent solution is to get fit and get rid of excess fats stored on your legs
use the botanical formula soap which includes lemon and vitamin C im having the same problem but exfoliating with that soap helps Ive only used it 3 times so far and i see results already im currently bleaching my skin as i type (haha) im using madre perl (mother of perl) u leave it on for an hr 3 times a week Ive heard great things so will see Im also using coco butter lotion when im done showering with the soap that helps too because all this stuff could dry out ur skin depending on ur skin type :) hope I helped
It is related to fungus in the body (which, yes, can be related to weight, but fungus is what causes it).
I used to have this for many years. I also had toenail fungus. I started to take an anti-fungal medication called Fluconazol and over the course of the year I took this medication, all of the dark skin in my thigh areas, underarms, etc, all disappeared. I told my doctor about this and he said it is indeed related to having fungus in your body.
