penis loss of pigment

Tags: penis, pigment, loss of pigment, rash, red, itch, shaft, white spot, skin, Jock Itch

Last year my dermatologist Doc gave me miconozol, then iconozol, then I tried lamisil to clear up some red slightly scaly and raised red itchy spots on my penis. The doc wanted to do a skin puncture to be sure, but I refused that (ouch). The rash cleared up after a couple months. Now I have five 1/4" round white spots where the rash was. All 5 spots are between my glans and ring where my foreskin was. ( the first 1.5" of my penis)

Will these spots go flesh color again? or stay white?
any other info I should know, would be great

Thank you Doctor
Michael*

To: Michael*

I apologize, Michael, but the one who can answer your question is the doctor who saw you. Miconazole s for yeast infections, and yeast infections don't leave white spots. Neither does eczema, which can cause red, scaly spots on the penis. So basically, I don't know what these white spots are, so I can't tell you whether they will go away. Please call or see your doctor and ask.

Best.

Dr. Rockoff
