Advice on male genital skin conditions
Many skin conditions can affect the genital skin. Some are specific to the male genital skin, whilst others can be more widespread but affect the genital skin as well. Besides causing embarrassment, some male genital skin diseases can cause itching, discomfort and it can also affect relationships.
Some such conditions include:
- Bowen’s disease
- Psoriasis
- Lichen planus
- Fungal infections
- Skin cancers
- Vitiligo
- Warts
- Lichen sclerosus
- Zoon’s balanitis
At Everything Skin Clinic™ our expert dermatologists will provide a clinical examination and may offer a skin biopsy to establish the diagnosis so as to offer a tailored treatment plan.
WHAT CAUSES MALE GENITAL SKIN Conditions?
BOWEN’S DISEASE
This is considered to be a precancerous condition. Specialist creams such as imiquimod, or photodynamic therapy are effective in reversing the condition.
FORDYCE’S SPOTS
Whilst normal, some patients find this condition to be very distressing. The role of lasers in the treatment of Fordyce’s spots is well established.
PSORIASIS
Not all psoriasis treatments can be applied to genital skin as it is delicate and can cause discomfort and irritation. Specialist creams can be prescribed to alleviate the symptoms of psoriasis on the genitals.
LICHEN PLANUS
This inflammatory condition can present as white lines on the mucosa or the red of the genitals. It can be quite itchy and may be the only sign of lichen planus. A biopsy may be required to confirm the diagnosis and to offer adequate treatment.
LICHEN SCLEROSIS
This can appear as white spots or red erosions on genital skin. Good treatments are available.
FUNGAL INFECTIONS
Candida infections are not uncommon and can point towards a diagnosis of diabetes especially if recurrent. If applicable, both partners should be treated simultaneously.
SCABIES AND CRAB LICE
Whilst not pleasant at all to be diagnosed with scabies and crab lice infestation, these conditions are curable with appropriate treatment.
SCROTAL CYSTS
Sebaceous cysts can be single or multiple. These are easily removed by laser or surgery.
SKIN CANCERS
Skin cancer can appear around the genital area.
VITILIGO
White spot disease can affect the genital skin. This can be addressed by topical therapy and light (excimer) treatment.
WARTS
Warts and verrucae can be sexually transmitted. Genital warts should be treated aggressively as a risk of cross-transmission and progression of wart affected skin to skin cancer is well recognised.
ZOON’S BALANITIS
Zoon’s balanitis describes inflammation of the head of the penis (glans penis) and foreskin. It usually affects middle-aged to elderly men who have not been circumcised.
