Hi,

Welcome to HCM,

As there is no h/o exposure STD is ruled out.

You might have fungal infection on fore skin or pre vitiligo on the part.

There is another possibility of having collection of smegma under the fore skin giving this type of picture.

Clean the smegma by averting fore skin while taking bath.

Get physically examined by your doctor and go for treatment accordingly.

Ok and bye.
