Brief Answer:
Am not alarmed by this!

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I have received the image from you and it has been reviewed. I note this elliptical dark spot on the left side of your labia. It is homogeneous and shows no areas suspicious of possible cancerous lesions. At this time, there is no need for any specific management. My recommendation is to observe this probably every 6months to see if there are any changes. If you note any, then call for further review. If there are none, there is no need for any concerns.

I hope this addresses your worry. Let me know if there is something more you want us to talk on again.

What is it ?

Answered by Dr. Ivo Ditah (9 hours later)

Brief Answer:
Not specific disease condition but rather a skin discoloration!

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Beside the discoloration, there are no other concerning features. This might be explained by a concentration of melanin pigment which gives dark coloration to cells. Main point at this time is to monitor fully and make sure that all is going okay. If you note any changes, report for further evaluation.

I hope this helps. Let me know what your take is on this.
