Q. I feel tightness in my penis with discoloration of penile head. Kindly help.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

From the history, it seems you have developed lichen sclerosis et atrophicus. In this condition, discoloration and tightness occur.

Since when do you have this issue? Is it spreading? I need to see the discoloration so that I can assess.

Please revert with a photo so I can provide you a definitive diagnosis and suggest treatment accordingly.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

Thanks for sharing the photo (attachment removed to protect patient identity).

Tightness or abnormal discoloration is not applicable except for the slight whitish color. I would suggest you take a urologist appointment for this and changing shape and tightness. He will be able to help you in a better way.

As there are no depigmented white areas, making a lichen sclerosis diagnosis is difficult without personal examination.

Apply Tacroz (Tacrolimus) cream 0.03 % at night in a small quantity on the white area for one month.

Same symptoms doesn’t mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
