Darkened skin

Since I've been wearing diapers, often wet, I've noticed a darkening of skin of my parts. I take it that it is uric acid or something but it does look kinda cool, like a sun tan. Anyone else noticed that? On your's I mean, not mine! 😁

Dee Dee, don't know if you are a girl or a boy but I would imagine, it's the same for all of us. Wearing a diaper isn't going to change you skin color. If you put a bandaid on your arm, your skin doesn't get darker, if anything it gets lighter. I think we all get a little darker "down there with age" it's normal.

Hi Baby Michael,

I'm a boy and I am not imagining this! I have a very fair complexion and it is quite noticeable. I have only been in diapers a few days and I can easily see the change in colour. Must be something in my pee.

I have some darkening around the crotch area, like on the inner side of my thighs. I can't explain it, but it definitely is darker.

Yes - me too - especially since I have been shaving - I thought that was why...just don't know = don't care - does look like a suntan though. 😄

I've noticed that ever since I got a urinary rash on

my upper left thigh and under my groin spreading into my butt

two years ago, the skin color has darkened. I think it's so cool!! It looks like a dark suntan. I have to shave it free of hair otherwise it itches.

I did some research online to see if there was any information concerning this. Although there was nothing that directly related diaper wearing to be a cause of skin darkening in the crotch area, I did find the following:

1. Darkening of the skin around the crotch and genitals is natural and can become darker with age. It is nothing to worry about.

2. Wearing diapers (especially disposables) can cause heat rash which over a period of time can cause the skin to become darker. Cloth diapers were recommended to help eliminate heat rash, as they allow for better natural evaporation.

3. Diaper rash can also cause this if not treated properly. Avoid wearing wet diapers for extended periods of time if you are prone to getting diaper rash and use a good diaper cream such as Desitin or A and D ointment.

I hope this helps some, but by no means take this as an all conclusive cause or cure for the problem.

Yup me too Iv'e got it right now and had it for a month or so. It started when I had a bad diaper rash the kind that itches real bad. It keeps coming back if I don't use a rash ointment daily.

My diaper area is a bit darker but not a whole lot, I never thought of it as part of being diapered . I have seen older people having dark thighs and thought it was more a part of getting older. But , Yes I am darker there too.

I don't wear diapers every day, I'll wear them in the daytime for a 7 or 10 days then get over them for a spell. I notice my diaper area get darker after about 3 days of being wet but will lighten up again after a few days out of diapers. I'm picking it must be acid burn or urine staining.

I've noticed this also. It doesn't bother me, maybe it's my diaper tan!!

Nope, haven't noticed a thing. But then, I don't wear them 24/7. Only once every week or two for fun, and then, usually just overnight or for a 3-4 hours (until they're soaked) in the afternoon.

Since my last posting, (wearing 24/7) my crotch and scrotum have darkened to a dark brown. It doesn't bother me, maybe form all the waxing, and laser hair removal done has aided this let alone I'm not getting any younger. I can see how the skin could darken by being exposed so much to body waste.

Just an update from three years ago. Since my last post I had laser hair removal done in my entire pubic area and then more. I've noticed from all this time wearing 24/7 my skin has darkened much more especially in between my legs.

I think it is natural that your skin is darker in those areas. I've heard they do sell bleach to lighten it but I consider it natural and not the result of staining of any kind. Don't scrub your ass raw because it won't make a difference LOL!
