Hey, I have what i believe is pigmentation spots on my skin, i have a couple spots on the side of my feet allong with genital area,(testicals and shaft)
Vitiligo is known to be a fairly common skin disorder ammonng ppl around the world effecting 1 to 2% of its population, i was wondering if these white spots are something common and treatable? i know and understand its not a serious health issue, it does not bother me a whole lot \i just don't wana see it get worse
ive been thinking about making a dr appointment thought idd do some homework beforehand
any helpfull info would be awesome! cheers!!

Welcome to A2A, ccookerca. It does sound like vitiligo. There is an interesting discussion of vitiligo and its treatment at http://ibmi.mf.uni-lj.si/acta-apa/acta-apa-05-4/2.pdf
