Hi,
Usually the color of the labia minora covering the vaginal opening will be darker compared with the surrounding skin.
The color can vary from person to person. Increased blood supply to them like in arousal can make them darker.
If the color change of labia is associated with features like:
-Edematous labia with pain or itching
-If the color not fading in a few days
-Associated with vaginal discharge
-Associated with foul smell, etc.
If you are having any of these symptoms, better to consult your Gynecologist once and get examined.
By clinical examination only, the exact cause of the problem can be identified and treatment can be taken accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr. Sree Gouri SR
