I was wondering if what's going on with my inner thighs is normal?

Question

So, I have dark inner thighs and they have pretty much been dark since I was 14 (I'm 26 now). I shower daily and always make sure that I wash thoroughly, but for some strange reason they are just always dark. I am wondering if this is normal, and I never really thought about it much, until my newest boyfriend. He has asked me like 10 times why my inner thighs are so dark- and I don't know why! Is there anything I can do to change it? And what do I say to him? I've told him before that my best friend, sisters and a couple of my other friends have darker inner thighs, but all he had to say to that was- "Well, I've never seen a woman with dark inner thighs." Help!

Answer 1

dont listen to the first poster, he sounds like a perve. WITHOUT posting a picture, i know very well what you are talking about. i have light skin, however my inner thighs are also dark. im not too sure changing it is an option, however if it has not caused any problems i wouldnt worry about it. As for your boyfriend, tell him thats life, and its how you are.

Wow, your boyfriend's being a jerk.

He's already seen them and inquired about why they are darker, and you gave an honest response - that you simply don't know, they just are. And if they're not bugging you in any other way, then it shouldn't be a big deal.

If he keeps on bugging you about it - like you said - he's trying to make you feel bad about your body, and make you feel not normal. Thats not cool.

If he says, "Well, I've never seen a woman with dark inner thighs." You should tell him, "Well, I've never been with a jerk of a guy before that's ever had a problem with it."

I don't know what causes it but I'm sure if it hasn't bothered you before then it shouldn't bother you now. Tell your boyfriend you don't know maybe it has something to do more pigmentation there but who knows...and then I'd ask why it bothers him so much since it sounds like he's bugging about it. After that he needs to drop it. If he cares about you then he'll love you for you and end the questioning. I don't mean to be harsh but I hope this guy for your sake isn't just trying to be a jerk. Good Luck.

your bf is being a jerk! there's no reason to ask you about that, because it's just how you are. And I wouldn't worry about it, I think it's very common and perfectly normal. Some people have that and some don't. It's as simple as that. But really you don';t deserve an idiot who makes you feel bad like that!

tell him to buzz off! if he doesn't like it then its his own fault! My boyfriend has darker skin on his inner thighs too, it must be just a difference in skin pigmentation or something. it is right where his legs meet up with the rest of his body. never bothered me much. good luck with your boyfriend
