What Could Cause Paleness Of Clitoris ?

I have noticed my clitoris is paler than i think is normal, i think a normal one should be pinkish? It has also been quite sensitive for a while now, also my clitoris hood has been itching (not sure if it is related) There are also white areas in the hood the can be cleaned out so maybe that may be the cause of everything?

OBGYN,  's  Response
Hello, I would be happy to help you with your question.

Given your symptoms of a whiter or blanched clitoral hood, increased sensitivity and whitish adherent discharge around the hood, the most likely explanation is a vulvar yeast infection. Itching is not always a common feature. I do not think that this is an emergency, but an over the counter yeast cream or oral diflucan from your doctor might be all that you need to return everything to normal.

I hope that this helps and good luck!
