If you have vitiligo on the penis, there are procedures now with lasers (Xtrac Excimer Laser), which have shown high success rates for repigmentation. If you are concerned about the issue, I would call your nearest research hospitals in your area to find out what's available. Good luck.
Hi,The cause of vilitigo is not know,but doctors and researchers have several different theories.One theory is that people develop antibodies that destroy the melanocytes in their own bodies.Another theory is that melanocytes destroy themselves.Finaly,some people have reported that a single event such as sunburn oremotional distress triggered vitiligo,however these events have not been prven to cause vitiligo.About 40 to 50 million people world wide have vitiligo.Good luck.
Vitiligo is a skin disorder characterized by loss of melanocytes with patchy loss of skin pigment. The depigmented areas are most common on the hands, face, and genitals and are flat and pale. This can occur in all ages and races, but are most common in blacks. The cause is unknown but often occurs along with an autoimmune disorder. Treatments include oral and topical synthetic trioxsalen and psoralen used with exposure to UV light, but the usefulness is questionable. discovering the autoimmune disorder and beginning treatments may slow the spread. Have you physician test you for autoimmune disorders based on other symptoms that are occuring. Good luck.
