Brief Answer:
A skin infection likely.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
The discoloration of labia that is gradually spreading to thighs is likely to be due to a skin infection or dermatitis. It is usually associated with itching. A direct examination by a dermatologist is needed for proper diagnosis. This can be treated with oral antibiotics and topical steroid based antiseptic creams. Do consult a dermatologist for proper prescription drugs.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
