Skin discoloration in the male or female pubic areas is often a difficult subject to discuss. Our office specializes in dyspigmentation and we have found the Luminase and Exfolase Body Brightening Kit to be exceptional in these cases. Of course, one must distinguish between abnormal pigmentation and genetically-defined darkening of the penis, labia minora and majora that results from a combination of increased vasculature and genetic skin tone. 
  
Lightening of the penis, pubis, inner thighs, outer vulva, labia minora, labia majora, and anus can be achieved with a combination of the Body Brightening Kit and light chemical peels. The process takes several months to achieve results.

There are several conditions that can lighten penile skin. The most common would likely be vitiligo. A visit to your local dermatologist could help clarify the diagnosis and rule out other diseases that lighten skin. Your dermatologist could also introduce you to a few potential treatments. Tattooing a large surface area of genital skin would not be highly recommended because it could result in significant pain or loss of sensation afterward that could be permanent. Phototherapy might be a safer option than tattooing.
