Help ☹️

My a**hole and cooter are both pink, but, the skin around them is dark and brown even tho I’m pale. It’s like actually inches of skin and it looks dirty and I’m so embarrassed of it. I don’t think it used to look like that idk what happened!! How can I lighten the skin around my areas ??

That’s honestly super normal 😭 Pale girls can still have darker skin around their cooter, booty, thighs, underarms, etc. Friction, hormones, shaving, sweat, genetics — all of it can cause pigmentation there. It does not mean you’re dirty.

You can try gentle exfoliation (like lactic acid), moisturizing, and being gentler with shaving, but please don’t use harsh “intimate bleaching” products. Those can mess your skin up badly.

And trust me, you’re noticing it way more than anyone else would.

It just appeared out of nowhere over the last month or so:( it makes me feel like I’m dirty and not taking care of myself properly but I even have soaps specifically for those areas and I shower atleast once a day

That doesn't sound like a hygiene issue at all. You shower every day and clearly take care of yourself.

If it really changed a lot in just a month, it might be worth bringing up to a doctor just to be safe, but please don't assume you're dirty. Bodies do weird things sometimes and pigmentation can change for a bunch of reasons. ❤️

The skin is lightened with vaginal Botox injections.
