What Causes Change In Color And Texture Of Scrotum?
Hi, I noticed the color of my scrotum and the lower part of the underside of my penis shaft has dramatically changed color from dark to light. The "feel" of my scrotum has also changed, it used to feel soft like the rest of my skin, but now the skin feels rougher / clammy (not wet) and the hair is barely regrowing. I got checked for STDs and everything came back negative. What else could be causing this?
Androgenshormonal levels affect the colour and texture of sexual organs in males and females.
I would recommend you to test your Luteinizing hormone and free testosterone levels. Some studies suggest an effect of testosterone levels on melanocytes in the scrotum. The higher the darker.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr. Ahmad Nazzal
