What Causes Different Pigmentation On Foreskin?
Question: I have recently noticed some different pigmentation on my foreskin. Instead of being a pinkish colour, like the skin around it, there is now a small oval patch, around 1.2cm by 1.6cm, of very light - almost white - skin, surrounded by some patchy very dark brown skin around 60% of the way around the white skin. I am 67 years old. Is this something I need to get checked out? If so, what are the possible causes?
