Is the VIN Spreading???

I just had surgery for VIN II back on Feb. 2nd and yes, I do have HPV.  The vulvar tissue the doctor removed had turned white.  Now, three weeks later, and even though the doctor told me there were clean margins for the tissue he removed, I'm noticing a lot of the area around the incision site (I had 12 stitches) is turning white like the tissue he removed.  Has anyone else had this happen to them?   What does this mean, is the VIN spreading?

 

Worried at home...

Windie.

    Hey sweetie...I don't have

    Hey sweetie...I don't have any answer for you.  I'm wondering how you are doing?  How are you healing?  I've just been diagnosed and have just started this journey.  I'm so sorry you are dealing with this.
