Can Pigmentation Loss On Penis Be A Result Of Excessive Masturbation?

i have pigmentation loss on my penis head and tip of the foreskin. It started around 2 years ago and is very very slowly increasing
I believe it is due to over masturbation as i'm not sexually active so no chance of any STD
Is there any remedy for this ? please let me know

Hi

See loss of pigment from the penile region can lead up to two basics causes.
One it can be due to vitiligo. Second it can be due to a comparatively rarer skin disease which is Bxo.
Now see since the loss of pigment is continuously increasing, I am sure it is a cause of concern and needs proper evaluation and treatment by a dermatologist.
Both of these are essentially treatable skin conditions if treatment is started on time and is not delayed too much.
So you should see a nearby dermatologist soon and start adequate treatment.
