If it is genital vitiligo, you can ignore the same as the treatment consists of cumbersome procedures like exposing to UV rays along with drugs for months together. Even then the response would not be satisfactory in majority of the individuals. Upload the pictures, so that we can discuss more.

Brief Answer:
It is just like greying of hair. No other problem would occur
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome back.
It will be unlikely to spread other areas of the body. If at all it will increase in size over the genitals in the coming years to a slight extent. You can apply Vitamin E cream, but can not expect much changes. Nothing much to worry.
