Why is my skin so dark down there? It looks like dirt?

So around my vagina, the color of my skin looks disgusting. It straight up looks like dirt, but its not! I'm afraid one day i'm gonna get sexual with a guy and he'll think i don't clean myself or something.

I don't know how to describe exactly where the dark spots are. If you're really curious i can post a drawing and circle where its dark lol

So how do I fix this?

  • You don't fix it, it's you, you accept it and start to love your lady bits. You are no different from many many women out there. And your insecurity about those beautiful lady bits is much more common than you think.
    You will hear no complaing from the guys.
    There used to be a tumblr blog called genital anxiety where women like you who had issues with how they looked down there, could see they are no different in their anxiety with thousands of other women, the blog was dedicated to reassuring women they have nothing to worry about. In fact, you are beautiful, and unique.

  • "one day i'm gonna get sexual with a guy and he'll think i don't clean myself or something."
    No he won't. We understand that a girl's nether region will have pigmented areas. The girl sleeping in the next room has plenty of this and it just looks naughty to me.
    My SO is an "innie". The line where her two puffy outer labia come together is much darker than what is nearby. Around back, pressure points where she sits are darker too. Please don't worry about this. We don't worry about a little dark pigment.

  • Many women have this , you just dont see it on porn so you assume its abnormal; its not. Its your skin and how it is naturally. you're not dirty and you dont need to fix it. Dont put any creams or lightening products down there , you'll risk infection and pain. Accept it and realize tons of other women are just like you.

  • Eh most guys don't care. They understand it is normal for your genital to be a little darker than your other parts of body.

  • Could be from shaving. Exfoliate and use aloe Vera gel. It could also just be your skin. It's very common

    Google is a wonderful thing. Also I think that's a pretty common thing, it happens to a lot of people, just part of existing. Link has possible remedies.

  • It's normal.. guys have to deal with it

  • damn near every person has dark area. don't be insecure about it. if someone is not okay with you than that is your problem.

    • Not your problem I mean their problem. lol

  • ok so you have nothing to fear. I have been intimate with multiple women and half of them had dark vaginal areas, kinda like a bull's-eye but instead of red it is dark brown. I never once thought that the "area" was dirty. to be honest my hand would explore first and I could usually "smell" the "scent" which indicates dirty or clean and if I do not smell death then I am diving in tongue first. do not be so self conscious anymore there is no reason.

  • so using creams to take off your hair, use proper wax.

    • stop*

    • I just shave with shaving cream

    • yeah thats why.. start using proper wax

  • It's perfectly normal to have darker skin there.

  • exfoliate

  • It can't be fixed, that's just how your skin is.

    • ^ This.

  • It happens for some girls during puberty when tissue in vulva starts to change and breasts to develop. The organs in the vulva may grow and become larger and even change in color.

  • it can be managed upto ur skin tone...

  • If it's on your inner thigh it's probably from skin rubbing up against each other when you walk. The friction makes it dark.
    Guys don't really care about that stuff. We understand that the downstairs area is not perfect looking. Pussy is pussy to us. We'll still eat lmao
    But if it really bothers you that much, I've seen skin lightening products made for the downstairs area. I don't know how safe that stuff is though.

  • Consult a dermatologist.
    A dermal laser might fix it.

  • Guys don't care.

  • its normal, i prefer when girls have that dark outline around it. it kind of accentuates how it looks

  • It's normal for guys but i haven't ask a chick before tbh

  • It's fine. You are worrying over nothing.
