Skin atrophy + LS
Posted , 4 users are following.
I've been suffering with skin issues on the shaft of my penis for a while now, I believe linked to eczema/dermatitis. In the desperation, I believe I have developed skin atrophy which has made the skin on my penis very sensitive/sore and red from an overuse of steroid creams.
I also have been affected by mild case of lichen sclerosus which I haven't found anything effective to get rid of the whitening of the glans, for the tissue to return to a more normal pink/red colour.
I plan on seeing my doctor next week but just wondered if anyone had experienced anything similar or any comments welcomed.

Yeah, I was prescribed eumovate cream which I had been using for a while but wasn't having much progress with it. I then bought about cream which I now regret. I have an appointment next week with my doctor and hoping they will be able to help.

Have you actually see a Dermatologist? Has your Lichen Sclerosus actually been formally diagnosed with a Biopsy .... ?

Mine looks identical to your second picture. steroid creams didn't help at all. I have tried various fungus creams and different oils. nothing has worked so far. Apart from the whitening I have absolutely no symptoms of anything. Its been two years now

Hello!
How you discovered you have lichen sclerosus?
Your glans is pale due to lichen sclerosus or because of steroid cream?
Your dry skin never goes away? Your penis never rehydrated by itself?
