Gynecologist Mariana Macedo has explained the main causes of genital skin darkening in women, calling the color change a natural occurrence with multiple triggers.
In a conversation with publication Terra, Macedo stated that genital darkening can result from hormonal issues during various life stages, including puberty, pregnancy, and menopause. The doctor added that natural skin aging is another contributing factor.
Irritation and Melanin Production
Macedo identified ongoing thigh friction, tight clothing, and hair removal methods that regularly irritate individual skin as further causes. She explained that when inflammation or repeated irritation occurs, the body responds by generating additional melanin.
In a separate report, gynecologist Dmitry Lubnin previously advised applying a drop of lubricant to the head of the penis to increase pleasure when using condoms.
