Medical Conditions - Brown Patches On The Vulva

A woman's hormone levels, such as estrogen levels, can affect the production of the pigment melanin, which can result in the darkening of the skin in sensitive areas such as the vulva. During pregnancy, hormonal changes are more pronounced, which causes the vulva to have dark brown patches or spots. In addition, friction, inflammation, and other conditions can lead to hyperpigmentation of the vulva.
