LIPS OF VAGINA DISCOLORED

[Mackley]

Over the last year i have noticed an area on my inner labia that is darker purple. I used to thing it was just wierd skin because its on my bigger labia and i thought it was just hangy skin. My problem is that the area is getting bigger. Even when i spread the skin, the discoloration stays. Could I have done this by having too much sex?

I met my husband when he was 34, and by then he had had many women in his life.  He claims to have slept with over 50 women and tells me that women genitals come in many shapes and colors.  He said that men don't care about the shape,color, or size.  My husband said that we women worry about stuff that's not important to them.  He says every woman has beautiful genitals, no matter the shape or color.  I've heard women complain that their lips are to fat.  My man says he prefers fat ***** (like mine) over a skinny one. So like Lhack says, "love yourself the way your are,"  your man already does.

It's not turning black... you're just going through puberty and the pigments in your skin are changing.

Women's genitals come in all shapes, sizes and colours... and they go through a *lot* of changes in all three during puberty. It's all determined by the genes the woman in question was given 9 months before she was born... and in women who've given birth, some of the colour changes during pregnancy end up being permanent.

Some have big, puffy outer lips and tiny little inner ones that can't even be seen without spreading their legs and outer lips both... some have smallish outer lips and inner lips that stick out firmly from them or hang... some have one lip that's one shape and the other lip is completely different... some have pink, purple or dark brown inner lips... some have pale or dark outer lips... some have really big or really little clitorises.

Knowing and accepting your unique "genital geography" isn't something mothers usually pass along to their daughters... but it's something every woman should learn.

Every single set of women's genitalia shown at...

... is perfectly normal... and it's very unlikely that yours are *not* perfectly normal, so you should get to know them well and learn to love them. They're a very important part of what it means to be *you*.

I HAVE THE ANSWER !!!!
i asked my doctor , its normal.
basically with black girls , like me, we have higher hyper pigmentation, and the discoloration comes from that area being irritated (from things rubbing against it, underwear blahh)  and it gets inflamed then gets darker as the reaction. ***** but happens to all races, but quicker to happen to those who have hyper pigmentation genetically as well.

he said you can help it by uses cream when it first inflames to prevent it from getting darker, but whooooo in their right minds actually knows when that is.

but of course with the bleaching and lighting creams comes side affects , soooo ladies, sounds like we're s.o.l ..   :'(

well i have this issue as well, and my GYN never said there is a problem. she's one of the best at what she does, and if it wasn't normal, i would have known. i don't think you ladies should worry.
