Hello,
Skin in the genital area is normally darker than rest of body. Weight loss causes the skin to shrink and appear darker. If you want to lighten it, you can use a mild skin lightening cream like kojic acid or arbutin in consultation with your doctor.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
