Red/purple marks on shaft

Posted , 1 user is following.

Hey, hoping to find some help here. It all began with a white patch on the bottom of the shaft in december. (1st photo)

Since then I've developed these purple/red marks on the top of my shaft that wouldn't fade and more appeared progressively. Second photo was at its worst in March, burning pain that went away after using dermovate my doctor prescribed. The glans are unaffected, there was swelling in both shaft and testes but after 2 weeks of dermovate I haven't had any flareups.

The last two photos are recent, it goes from clearly visible to barely visible at times. There's still occasional pain but thankfully everything works as it should, I'm just concerned why the marks keep appearing. The overall texture feels much softer and vulnerable than it used to and I avoid frequent masturbating. I'm scheduled to go back to my doctor, are these normal to have? He said it could be early lichen sclerosis or dermatitis.
