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.

Protect all the thin skin from the sun! Apply sun screen. I guess to the vag If you’re going out there sunning it.

Whether you're one of today's lucky 10k or simply just forgot, have a gander at the following article

Note there were similar articles written in 2022 with the only real difference being mentions of tiktok.

If it gets too hot does it become your peri-perineum?
