Here at Skin Inspection, our dermatologists have a vast experience in treating a variety of male genital skin conditions. Genital skin conditions are extremely common and can present with a number of different symptoms including; redness, soreness, ulceration, pain, or inflammation.
While some skin conditions, such as eczema and lichen planus, can affect any part of the body, including the genitals. Other skin conditions, such as genital herpes and genital warts, are directly associated with the genital area.
However, many people often confuse the symptoms of genital skin conditions with those of an STI, leading to the incorrect treatment being applied. If you believe that you may have a genital skin condition, book a consultation with our dermatologists or call the clinic on 020 3575 1474.
