is the white patch under the skin or above the skin level?
it doesnt feel raised or anything its like its a stain not sure if that makes sense
ss
it is
it might be lichen planus because i almost have the same patches but mine did not turned to red yet and doctors told me it is lichen planus. Please update me what the doctors will tell u. I used Elica M for 1 month but there is no improvement and now i am using propotic.
she just got back to me saying she doesnt think its anything and give it a few weeks. ive to use e45 lotion for washing the area
im still worried as its a bit painful should i be worried
i think you need to see another doctor and make sure it is a good doctor because a lot of dermatologists don't know anything about gential skin diseases specially lichen and do not worry because there is a treatment for everything.
i just worry its cancer lol
no it is not cancer
it was the GUM clinic i visited due to the covid outbreak i had to send pics in. i just had a shower and tried to wash there and there was stench. im not sure if it could be fungal or yeast infection but there is nothing to wipe away
Apply something like a skin cream or baby oil to it for a few days, if it worsens within 4 to 5 days it is likely you have a skin disorder that you will need to get correctly identified and appropriate medication for the diagnosis (it is unlikely you will get a severe reaction to applying anything) So yes, GUM Clinics are perhaps the only service where you will currently get a potential face-to-face appointment - the other I would try is if you find the major Sexual Health Service in the area in which you live if you want to phone an alternative provider
i think its starting to get better the pain has subsided now. i think masterbation may have irritated it so taking it easy
When did you notice something MAY not be quite right - how long ago was this? The clear likelihood is you have a genital skin condition - certainly things like masturbation and sexual activity will cause a great deal of friction and therefore heightened irritation. The only way to resolve what you have going on is to get diagnosed and the correct treatment put in place as soon as possible
it was a few weeks ago maybe 3/4 i noticed a white patch but it didnt get painful until monday this week. it seems like its starting to fade now with using e45 lotion. I spoke to a doctor and told me to send photos in they told me it doesnt look to be anything to be worried about and keep the area clean and see how it is in a two/3 weeks
Given the current Corona Virus circumstances this is about the only suggestion a doctor would make - I am presuming this is a GP / Family doctor, rather than a GU medicine / sexual health one? If this is a skin condition the likely development path is that you will get periods where the symptoms seem to fade but will return again - if they fade and stay away then fine, but given the symptoms in photo 1 there is a strong likelihood they will return
it was a sexual health doctor i was able to see. she thinks its a reaction to perhaps some new product i used
i think its starting to fade away im hopeful at least
The next 3 to 5 months should prove which is the case. In terms of potential products it would be helpful if you can identify whether you have changed anything like a soap or shower gel - particularly if you apply these to the head of your penis when washing or showering
