Decreased genital pigmentation

comment

This is an assessment of the relative pigmentation of the genitalia compared to the overall pigmentation of the individual. Hypopigmentation can affect other parts of the body or be restricted to the genitalia. Genital hypopigmentation can be generalized or localized. Localized hypopigmentation can be objectively determined due to the difference from the immediate surrounding tissue color, while generalized hypopigmentation may be more difficult to determine and is therefore a subjective manifestation.
