it changed colour?

Unread post by Lyle Lanley »

so, yesterday i was checking out my private with a hand mirror, and i noticed that a lot of it was brown, when the other times i checked it was pink.
what could be the causes?
i've googled yesterday and most of what i remember is that it happens in puberty. i think mine is basically done since my period has started 4 yrs ago.
is there any other reason, like where in your cycle you are (i'm at the end of ovulation, entering pms soon), or could it be something bad happening?

thanks in advance.

Hey there!

So, puberty tends to last about a decade, not a few years, and for sure, part of it will involve the color of genitals (and often nipples, too) deepening or changing. These changes also tend to keep happening more gradually through all of life. Nothing to worry about!
