Laser procedure that's specifically tuned to take out brown pigmentation requires a week of healing and is more expensive. But the easiest and least expensive option is prevention. Stay out of the midday sun, use at least SPF-15 sunscreen and wear hats. It's a question every man and most of their wives must answer. Dr. James Mays of Midwest Regional Medical Center says if infertility is an issue, boxers are better.
Briefs can make the area too hot, resulting in a low sperm count.
So, whether you're looking at silk or cotton, white or colored, zebra striped or Southpark, keep this in mind. If you have a low sperm count, try to ware boxers first, but do not expect overnight results. It's not a quick fix. Most couples work on this for at least a year before they seek medical help. Of course, keep in mind, if you do not have a problem with fertility, the choice of boxers or briefs is just personal preference.
