Should I Be Concerned About A Darker Area Of Pigmentation Between My Inner And Outer Labia?

I just noticed a darker area of pigmentation between my inner and outer labia. I'm not sure if its always been there. It's kind of oval and not raised. It's not painful either. It looks like a birthmark, but I've never noticed it before. Should I be concerned?

Hi,

No, not at all. You should not concerned for the pigmentation you have between labia majora and labia minora. It is totally normal coloration or melanosis. And of no significance.You may consult dermatologist to remove doubt about the melanosis.
No treatment is advised. Just relax and be free of tension...ok.I hope you got my answer.

Thanks.
