1) How did it start? I have no idea, it was just there one day.
I assumed it was dry skin
2) Do you have presently or history of psoriasis lesions on genitalia also?
No, never. It shows no signs of any rash at all on the area mentioned
3) You said, you have constant pain. Is the pain continuous or intermittent ?
It is pretty much always there, sometimes worse than other times
4) Any aggravating or relieving factor?
None that I can think of. At first I felt like hydrocortisone cream helped, but within minutes I felt the pinch again.
5) History of any ulcer ever?
No
6) any history of trauma or violent sex?
No. I also have not been sexually active in a few months, which is why this is extra strange to me.
