    Question

    why did my vaginal walls become pink?

    Answer

    The appearance of the vulva and vaginal area can change due to many factors. Sometimes the appearance will change with puberty or hormone fluctuations. Also, like any other part of the skin, sometimes the surface might become swollen or red, as what happens when a rash forms. As long as the area isn't painful or itchy or you aren't having other symptoms, it most likely is a normal change and nothing to worry about.
