Question

Hi, I realised that my labia minora is blackishin colour instead of pinkish.

Irena Karanetz, MD · Answer

Hello and thank you for your question. 
Some darker pigmentation (discoloration) of labia minora (inner lips) can be normal. 
I suggest that you seek an in person consultation with a Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon or Gynecologist specializing in Labiaplasty to have it evaluated further. 
Best regards,

Variation in colour is very common and is typically not indicative of an abnormality. However, if you are concerned please see a gynaecologist. They can examine you to make sure.

Hi anonuser,

The darker color on your labia is completely normal.  Many women of all races have this color on their genitalia. If it continues to worry you, please consult with a gynecologic surgeon in your area for an in person exam and consultation.

Best Wishes,

Dr. Christine Rodgers

Yes, dark labia are normal and quite common. There is no good method to lighten their color except a labia minora reduction, however your labia are quite small already so this may not be an option for you.
You should consult with a labiaplasty surgeon expert for your best options.
Best of luck,
