Question:
Why the genital organs are darker than normal skin colour
Answer:
The testosterone and estrogen in our body regulate the activity of melanocyte cells. These are the cells in our skin and hair that release melanin, the protein pigment responsible for our skin color. Production of these pigments increased when we hit puberty. Hence these dark areas only appear in genital organs.
