Intimate Discoloration from coarse hair, thin skin, and excessive rubbing in particular areas cause chronic inflammation and irritation.
Shaving – Shaving can cause discoloration due to the amount of pressure being used, the direction in which you are shaving, and how sharp the blade is. Razor Bumps are also a common skin condition that occurs as a result of shaving. Include clusters of small, red, or dark bumps around hair follicles. In addition, the surrounding skin is often red and inflamed.

Genes – Genes play a significant role in the number of melanocytes you inherit, which can cause hyperpigmentation to form more quickly and some areas to become darker than others.
Not exfoliating or Over Exfoliating – dead skin cells build up every day, which can cause discoloration. Regular exfoliation 2-3 times a week will help to smooth and brighten the area. However, over-exfoliation can cause the skin's barrier to damage which could lead to sensitivity.
Waxing – Waxing is an excellent alternative to shaving. However, if it is not done correctly, you may experience PIH (Post Inflammatory Hyper-Pigmentation), which will cause discoloration.
