White Patches On Mons Vereris, Looks Like Discoloration When Hydrated. What Could Be The Cause Of This?

Thanks for posting your query.
The white discoloration can be due to the following reasons:
• Vitiligo—there is loss of pigment due to autoimmune destruction of cells called melanocytes
• Post inflammatory hypopigmentation
• Candidiasis- This is likely to be accompanied by itching
• Leukoplakia--a pre-cancerous condition that seems unlikely in your case.
As I believe that more information can help a physician arrive at an accurate diagnosis, I would request you to answer the following questions:
a. Do you have any associated itching or vaginal discharge?
b. Do you have similar lesions elsewhere?
If there is no discharge or itching, I would suggest that you consult your therapy can be started. Alternatively, you can upload a picture on the “Upload your reports” section on the right.
I would be available to answer more queries.
Awaiting your reply.
