Well I am new here on the site and as I scanned and read over people post I realize that alot of women including myself have a problem with getting rid of the dark spots. Yes it can sometimes come from shaving to much, but suprisingly one day I went to the doctor for my check up and she said that you can grow out of it. It can sometimes be a stage of growth. But that was almost 3 years ago and yet I still have dark spots. I've tried lemon juice and potato juice. I can't try much because I am extremely sensitive in that area. So I'm stuck with it, honestly for a minute I hated my vaginal area. But I learn to deal with it!!! But I'm still up for options if anyone have any!!!
