Is the white patch on the testicle with scales a sign of vitiligo?

Patient's question:

The testicles have two white patches. Previously, they were two small ones that I didn't notice, but now they are slowly expanding. Sometimes they itch and have some scales. Is it vitiligo?

Doctor's answer:

Based on your description and the pictures, this situation is more likely to be caused by a fungal infection of the testicular skin. Generally, this condition is usually a local skin disease caused by contact with fungi. It also has symptoms similar to vitiligo, so it's still important to go to the hospital for a check-up and receive timely and appropriate treatment. For testicular patients, timely treatment can reduce the incidence of the disease. If it's not treated in time, it may affect your overall health condition. Therefore, patients should take medication promptly and pay more attention to self-care in daily life, avoiding spicy foods.
