@bdette728 Welcome to our support group and to Mayo Clinic Connect.

May I ask why your physician referred you for a biopsy? Are you having pain or itchiness? Or was this something your gynecologist noticed during your most recent exam?

@naturegirl5 I've been itching inside the labia. Not where the white is. She noticed this during visit. I really never looked for skin color. Not even sure how long it has been like that. I treated for yeast infection. I went because I'm having prolapse and afraid of bladder or vagina tissue falling out. I'm 80 and have been told by docs I no longer need to see gyn. I'm so worried now that I may have cancer. I'm not hurting where skin is white.
