Hello Doctor,
I've noticed a light white patch in my groin area for over a month now. It seems more prominent when my skin is dry, especially after shaving. There's hardly any itching. Additionally, I've observed a similar but larger patch on the side of my testicular region. Any insights into what this might be?
Hello,
Thank you for reaching out to Dr.Galen. Please find the below response to your query.
Possible diagnoses:
1. Tinea versicolor: Fungal infection causing hypo- or hyperpigmented patches on the skin, more visible when skin is dry.
2. Pityriasis alba: Common in children, presents as pale patches on the skin, often seen in the groin area.
3. Vitiligo: Autoimmune condition resulting in loss of skin pigment, leading to white patches.
Thanks
