Suggest A Treatment For White Spots On My Scrotum
Hi, hope you can help.
I have small white spots on my scrotum, the shaft of the pension and also round the head of the penis. These spots have also started forming on my lips, edges and underside of my tongue and also my eyelids and under the eyes.
I haven't visited a GP yet, as I find it a very embarrassing issue.

hello
Thanks for the query.
Probably you have developed vitiligo.
It is an autosomal disorder in which body forms antibodies against the pigment forming cell.
The pigment forming cells are destroyed leading to white coloured patches on the body.
It can be treated with the use of steroids and other immunomodulatory drugs.
Just relax it is a common condition and can be treated.
Please meet a dermatologist and get yourself examined.
Let me know you have any other doubts.
thank you
