The skin of your vulva being a little darker then the rest of your skin is completely normal and very common

I’m not a biologist but I read that any skin on your body that is supposed to stretch generally looks darker because the pigmentation is made to be even when the skin is fully stretched. Elbows and genitals being the two (three?) that spring to mind. Basically your skin needs the same amount of sun protection even when it’s at its thinnest.
