What Causes White Patches On Foreskin Of My Penis?
Balanitis Xerotic obliterans
Detailed Answer:
Hi, welcome to HealthcareMagic,
As per your description you are suffering from Balanitis Xerotica obliterans.
It is a chronic, progressive, sclerosing inflammatory dermatosis of unknown etiology.
Topical, Intralesional steroid and Immunomodulators are tried before surgical intervention.
It generally does not spread to other areas of body, although the lesion of prepuce progresses with time and lead to sexual dysfunction and even meatal stricture.
I would like to review your clinical photograph.
There is a feature to upload the image by yourself on the right side of this query page. You may utilize that. Alternatively, you can mail it to YYYY@YYYY with subject line as "ATTN: Dr. Shahid Hassan".
Hope this will help you.
Thanks.
Go for therapeutic circumcision
Detailed Answer:
Hi, welcome again,
Thanks for posting clinical picture. I have reviewed all your clinical photograph. It seems that photographs are taken at different time. Few of them are after application of betnovate C (A potent steroid)
After reviewing clinical photograph I made provisional diagnosis to be balanitis xerotica obliterans.
I will advise you to go for therapeutic circumcision, as sequelae of BXO is phimosis and unable to retract foreskin which will hamper sexual life.
In the mean time apply emollient and Fluticasone ointment twice daily and consult your surgeon for therapeutic circumcision.
Hope this will help you.
Thanks
I haven't used any medications to now
I don't think I'll be able to do the surgery in next few months. Is it possible to delay it till then... How long can I use the ointment. What's the dosage and period of usage.
see below
Detailed Answer:
Hi, welcome again,
white patch is also due to Balanitis xerotical obliterens and is not vitiligo.
I usually treat my patients with the following medicines.
Flutivate ointment twice daily, it is easily available in XXXXXXX
Ureative 3 lotion twice daily. you can continue Ureative 3 lotion for long time but don't apply flutivate for more than 3 week without supervision.
Difference in picture may be due to different view.
You can postpone the surgery as medical treatment will improve your condition a bit.
Hope this clears your fact.
Thanks
