I am 25 years old, and I have had a couple patches of hypopigmented skin on my penis for the last 4-5 years. This has caused me great depression which I am just now coming to terms with. I saw a dermatologist and was diagnosed as having lichen planus and prescribed clobetasol.

I used the clobetsol for 4 weeks then stopped for a week and a half, and I am now on week 2 of my second course (using it twice a day). It looks to be improving but very slowly. Is this normal? Please see side by side pic(with flash) and one pic without flash. Thanks!!!!imageimage
