Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
I am 24 years old man. These pink or red patches grew on the skin of my penis about 5 to 6 weeks before. Not itchy especially and no pain. HBC, HCV, HIV1-2, and Lues are negative. What could be these?
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
It seems like a fungal infection but that is itchy. Have you applied any medication to it? Yes, the skin is very dry. Is your skin dry all over the body? If your skin is dry all over, it can be due to your thyroid problem. I will suggest that you can do scraping for fungus. It will confirm your diagnosis. Other possibilities can be annular lichen planus, or psoriasiform lesions, but do not worry. Nothing is to be afraid of. You will get better soon.
