Hi,Dear thanks for the query to HCM virtual clinic.
I studied your query in full details.I understood your health concerns.
With whatever details are given by you,the dark are around vulva-points to melanoma of the vulva with malignant changes,as indicated from your doctor for which he has planned biopsy.The change in the color of the vulval skin in itself is ominous sign of cancer at this age.
Remedy-
Would depend on the HPR report-
If it comes as benign naevus-simple excision biopsy would get rid of the worry you have.If it turns out to be malignant,then you need to consult Onco-surgeon who would treat it with your gynec doctor.
Hope this would help you to get rid of the anxiety with this query.
Welcome to HCM in this regard by any further query.
Have a good health and early recovery.
