What Cause Patches Of Pigment Loss On The Scrotum?
Last night my fiancé and I noticed a pigment loss on both sides of this scrotum. The patches aren't exactly the same and don't itch. They are also not scaly. What could this be? They are also not totally white. He took a Benadryl and put calamine lotion on it last night and this morning it looked better but has still not gone away. How long should we watch it before seeing a doctor?

Hi,
It might be a case of post inflammatory hyper pigmentation which commonly occur in scrotum, in most cases it is a harmless scenario and requires no treatment. In few cases this might be the initial listen of vitiligo.
Hope it helps. If you have any other question please do not hesitate to contact us.
