Penile lesion: Lesions on the penis sometimes warrant a biopsy to confirm the diagnosis after an evaluation from a knowledgeable doc. Pcp's, dermatologists, or urologists would be a good starting point. There are a variety of possibilities including inflammatory, infectious, or malignant disorders. Your primary care physician would be a good place to start.

Vitiligo: This probably represents a skin condition called vitiligo which is an immunological reaction to our melanocytes. It needs to be evaluated by a dermatologist and a complete body examination for other sites needs to be performed.
