White/Pink patch on Scrotum

Hi, I have a large white/patch on my Scrotum and have noticed two smaller ones develloping. I was under alot of stress at the beginning of the year and that is when I noticed them. I also have a few small patches inmy stubble and white hair grows from them. Recently no hair has grown from these spots in my beard. Can you help me?

Hi,

There could be several causes of these white spots. It would be best to consult your doctor with your parents to find out the cause in your case and plan the further management accordingly.

Some of the perceived causes are emotional stress, hereditary factors, worms, sunburns and physical illness. This skin condition can be aggravated due to diseases like hyperthyroidism, diabetes mellitus, pernicious anemia and Addison's disease.

Fungal infections of the human body are very common, and are often quite bothersome. One such example is a condition known as tinea versicolor, a superficial yeast infection that produces white spots on the skin that are difficult to remove.

You should talk to your doctor and rule out the above causes.

Let us know if you need any other information.

Regards.
