Labia Minora Discoloration
I'm Hispanic and my labia majora is a pinkish redish. my labia minora however, is a soft purple.. if you will. Recently I have discovered a very small portion right next to my clitorus that is a bit darker. Is this normal? I'd like some opinions before I get the courage to see an actual gyn. I have read a few other questions that are similar to mine, but I don't know what information I should give in order to come to a some sort of conclusion...
I have noticed white spots on my labia minora. They do not itch, and are not raised from the tissue. Is this anything to worry about?

Hi
Thanks for writing to the forum!
Labia minora is supplied by many blood vessels hence its color varies from pinkish hue to purplish color. A darker color can be seen in trauma during sex or can be a normal variant. If there is pain with discoloration or if there is bleeding from the point or if there is vaginal discharge then you need to consult your gynecologist ASAP. Otherwise fix an appointment and get a routine examination done because on net it is not possible to give a confirmed diagnosis.
Hope this helps. Do let me know if there is any thing else and keep me posted. Take care!
