Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

This discoloration happens when melanocyte cell of the skin don't produce melatonin or are dead cells. This situation is called vitiligo. You may contact your gynecologist to prescribe corticosteroid creams or melatonin rich creams.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
