What Causes Darkening Of The Clitoris?

I'm 23 years old and I have only had sex 6 times with 3 different guys. I have noticed that my clit & around my lips its dark kind of like dark purplish. I really do not remember if I had it like this before I started having sex. But I know that it wasnt this dark. Is this normal or should I get it checked out?

Hi,

This condition of yours can be due to fungal infection so I would suggest you to use a topical anti-fungal ointment with steroids for this.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
