Genital skin condition treatments
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.

How our genital dermatology works
Many people often feel embarrassed when discussing genital skin conditions, however, if left untreated the condition can worsen. This is why our dermatologists take a professional and empathetic approach when treating genital conditions, speaking clearly with patient and suggesting treatments to ensure the condition improves quickly.
Our dermatologists will often prescribe topical treatments such as:
- Soap substitutes to avoid dry skin and reduce irritation.
- Paraffin-based moisturisers to help soothe the skin.
- Anti-inflammatory creams and anti-fungal medication to mitigate inflammation and infection.
During diagnosis, our dermatologists will examine the affected area and conduct further tests where necessary to confirm the diagnosis. These tests can include swab tests, blood tests, or a skin biopsy.
Located on Harley Street in London, our expert dermatologists have a wealth of knowledge and experience at their disposal to help provide quick and effective genital skin treatments for our patients.
We use the latest technology to inform and provide nothing but the best treatments, working with our patients to develop the most effective outcome.
