What Causes White Patches On Outer Vagina?

default
Posted on Fri, 23 Oct 2015
Question: What do you think white patches on the top of the vagina (mons pubis) would be? Ive had it for about a year looks like discoloured skin. Recently over time I have gotten more patches now on the crease from my vagina to my thigh. I have a couple spots on the bottom of my bum as well. I will be going to the doctor but just thought it wouldnt hurt to get a second opinion.
