What Causes Skin Lesions On Penis With Patchy Red Areas On Shaft?

Lichen planus genitals, need regular treatment
Detailed Answer:
Hi
I understand your concern regarding your skin problem and I hope I am able to help you in the same .
I have seen the attached picture .
The skin lesions in your case do not appear to be related to any sexually transmitted disease .
Owing to the pinkish and violaceous hue of the lesions, I am of the view that the lesions are those of lichen planus or an eczematous skin condition . Lichen planus is basically an immune mediated skin condition which is not infective or harmful.
Confirmation of the diagnosis can only be done on a closer and direct examination or by a skin biopsy .
I would advise you to apply cortisone cream over the affected areas twice a day for seven to ten days.
An improvement in the lesions will help in confirmation of the diagnosis .
I am sure they will get better with treatment . Do not apply any other cream or oil over it .
I would like to hear from you in follow up.
Hope it helps
Dr Geetika Paul
