Vitiligo on Genital Parts (Penis, Vulva, Labia) and around the anus
Vitiligo can affect anybody's parts including private parts such as the skin of the scrotum, penis, glans in males and vulva, vagina, and labia in females.
The genitals affected by vitiligo fall in the ‘mucocutaneous’ category, where skin and mucus-membrane meet. This variety of vitiligo is difficult to cure. One has to work on controlling the spread. In any case, vitiligo on genitals is the safest place to have it, in the opinion of Dr Rajesh Shah, MD.
Patients having vitiligo on genitals, or around the anus of the perineum, need not worry as long as it remains stable, as it is the most harmless condition.
