How is penile vitiligo diagnosed in teens?

Posted , 2 users are following.

Hello, I'm 14 years old and I have a lot of white spots on my hands. From a few weeks I saw that I have white spots on my penis too. My mother doesn't know because I don't want to make things awkward. Anyway I just wanted to ask will the doctor just ask me or will he want to see it.

Sorry for the stupid question.

Bye

    Peter,yes he probably would want to see the spots on your penis but the examination would be brief so dont worry.He/she will take your age into account and will know this is embarrassing for you. Just be honest with the doc. Well done for taking your health seriously. Its not a stupid question.
