Normally the genitals and axillae are little darker compared to whole body
In some rare disorders happens the same so it is a good observation by you and consult with nearby paediatrician to clear it out.

Usually the genitals are little darker as compared to rest of the body. But that needs physical examination as unusual hyperpigmentation is also a concern.
Kindly get it examined once by nearby pediatrician.
