Suggest Treatment For White Colored Pubic Hair Under The Scrotum

The other day, upon drying off my pelvic region after a shower I noticed the pubic hair under my scrotum was white! I thought it may be soap I didnt wash off, so I tried rinsing the area again. The white coating did not come off. I just moved to a new apartment and, embarrassing to say, hadn t showered in a couple days, and it was extremely hot and I got extremely sweaty down there. This has never happened before. Now, a couple days later, I noticed it is spreading up the underside of the shaft of my penis(the hair). There is no pain, itching, odor, or other accompanying symptoms. I did a little research and see I may have piedra. Would you agree, and if so, what do you recommend?

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I have read your description and understand your concern.
What problem you are encountering is pre-mature greying of hairs, which commonly occurs over scalp, but can happen in any other area as well.
You can only prevent its progression rapidly by intake of biotin supplements.
You can overcome it by means of dyeing with hair colours available.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
I find this answer helpful
