Genital discoloration can occur due to several factors, including hormonal changes, infections, and dermatological conditions. Common causes include:
- Hormonal Changes: During periods like puberty, pregnancy, and menopause, hormonal fluctuations can lead to changes in the coloration of the genital skin. - Infections: Bacterial, viral, and fungal infections can cause discoloration, often accompanied by other symptoms like itching, pain, or unusual discharge. - Dermatological Conditions: Conditions such as lichen sclerosus, eczema, and psoriasis can affect the genital area, causing discoloration and other skin changes.
