Why are my baby's labia black?

Generally speaking, a woman's labia will gradually turn black after she starts having sex. As a result, many women think that this is a sign of dirtiness, so they will deliberately control their desires and not think about having sex. In fact, this is very normal from a medical point of view and there is no need to worry too much. But some parents found that their baby girls also had black labia. Why is that?

Some baby girls may develop pigmentation on their vulva due to the influence of their mother's hormones after birth. This situation is a normal physiological phenomenon, so mothers don't need to worry too much. This condition usually resolves on its own after a few months. If the baby's vulva is black but there are no other symptoms of illness, such as inflammation, redness, swelling, etc., no treatment is required.

If the family does not properly clean the vulva or take care of the skin after a baby girl is born, the baby may be infected with bacteria in the urine, and may develop vaginitis or other diseases, which may cause abnormal color of the vulva. This situation is also very common. Some parents do not dress their children in loose pants, or use high-quality diapers, which may cause the girl's vulva to turn black due to friction.

If a baby girl's vulva turns dark, it may be caused by improper diet. Some foods or poor quality breast milk may cause endocrine disorders in the baby, or an increase or decrease in estrogen levels may cause abnormal reactions in the baby's vulva. There are many situations that can cause the baby's vulva to turn dark, so parents should send their baby to the hospital for examination in time.

To sum up, in our lives, many baby girls have black vaginas, which makes mothers more worried. This situation is relatively normal. Genes, race, lifestyle habits, etc. may affect the color of the baby's vulva. As long as the baby's vulva does not show redness, swelling or inflammation, the baby does not need special treatment. Parents should not give their children medication indiscriminately and should seek help from a doctor.
