What Causes Loss Of Pigmentation On Shaft Of Penis And Near Testicles?
I have noticed a loss of skin pigment on my genitals. One dime-nickel sized spot on the shaft, perfectly round and another spot at the base of the shaft leading onto my left testicle. I am 29 years old. I would like to know what is causing this and if it is in any way harmful to my health.

In short: Genital area is usually hyperpigmented, but you may also find less pigmented area over there.
Explanation: If your hypopigmented patch is new or less sensitive to touch, you need to show it to your doctor and go for investigations to find out the cause for it. Most probably it is a fungal infection patch if its itchy.
Any ways meet your doctor. Good luck
