No: You should contact the doctor who performed the procedure.
Wish you good health! - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form.
Practice safe sex, if you have sex.

Is it normal to have grey discoloration on the genitals? I have otherwise very fair skin. I also have what seems to be an external hemorrhoid and an almost black anus which i have just recently noticed. Is that normal?
