Do I have lichen scelrosis ?

Posted , 5 users are following.

I have these white patches under the foreskin and on the head of my penis.

I does not itch but kept spreading so that is making me very anxious.

My doctor had earlier prescribed me a bunch of antibiotics and a steroidal cream (Clobetasol) and it worked very well

but since I had stopped using it.

The nightmare came back.

I have not been to a dermatologist or a urologist yet but have already showed my condition to three doctors.

    were you diagnosed with LS when you were prescribed clobetasol?

    if symptoms cleared you should just restart the treatment and might consider maintenance treatment when symptoms have cleared.

      I still have not been to the dermatologist.

      But I have stopped taking all medicines.

      I am seeing some changes after my last treatment though.

      My doctor also prescribed me ornidazole(oral) and otraconazole.

      After two weeks of taking these medicine the white patches look blistered and discontinued.

      Its still all over but looks like it might get cured.

      I am optimistic.

      I just want support and positivity.
