Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I have had a small red patch of skin on my penis for over a month. There is no itchiness, no irritation, no pain.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Please send few good quality photographs taken in a natural light.

Patient's Query

Thank you doctor,

This started about a month ago. Almost like a ring with a light red center. Absolutely no pain or itchiness. It has decreased in size over the last week and a half or so. Not sure if just dry skin or what. Just alarming that it has been a month. It is almost towards the very back (base) of the penis as you can see.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

As per the picture and history, it is going in favor of tinea corporis or contact dermatitis. I would advise you to use Luliconazole cream twice daily for 10 days and if not subsided, then go for Mometasone cream twice daily and it will definitely respond.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
