In addition to applications such as waxing, epilator, laser, the use of razor blades is among the main external factors that cause blackening.
Another external factor is the clothing worn. Clothes rubbing against the genital area, tight clothing squeezing this area can cause irritation. At the same time, constant intervention to pimples, blackheads or ingrowns in the genital area can also trigger darkening.
There are also rare causes of darkening. Conditions such as the use of birth control pills, following various diets and consequent weight loss or weight gain, various diseases, smoking can cause darkening of the genital area.

Why does the genital area get darker and darker?
The biggest factor in the browning of the genital area is the estrogen hormone concentration in this tissue. Estrogen hormone activates 'melanocyte' cells that provide color darkening in the genital area with the effect of sunlight, and melanocyte (color pigment) cells secrete 'melanin' and cause color darkening in the genital area.
Although the genital area is covered with hair and clothing, it is extremely easy for the sun's ultraviolet rays to reach this area. On the other hand, pregnancy and birth control pills can also cause browning and darkening of the genital area due to increased estrogen hormone in women.
Advancing age is also a cause of browning in the genital area. Genital area epilation can also cause darkening in the genital area.
Polycystic ovary syndrome, excessive functioning of the adrenal glands (Cushing's disease), some hormone medications used, some medications applied to this area, creams, some surgical procedures performed in this area, racial and familial predisposition are among other causes of genital area darkening.
