What Causes Brown Patches On Scrotum And Penis?

default
Posted on Fri, 23 Oct 2015
Question: My husband has the sudden appearance of a light brown birthmark-like discoloration around his scrotum and penis. He has no pain or irritation and thinks he does not need to see a physician. Could you tell me what it could be - and whether he needs treatment?

could be dermatitis but upload picture to be more specific

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome to HCM

I have gone through your query.
It could be dermatitis or some infection but its difficult to point specific diagnosis in absence of clinical examination.
Therefore, I insist you to post good clinical pictures to me so that I can help you in a better way.

Take care.
Note: Hope the answers resolves your concerns, however for further guidance of skin related queries consult our Dermatologist.Click here to book a consultation
