White patches- dry or tear on penis/groin?

Posted , 3 users are following.

i had this problem for so long and i don't know if its because of my lifestyle or something else - i keep getting these tear like spot between my penis and groin, which sometimes becomes white scaly( flaky) that itches for a day or two then goes away .the area turning white when its dry. sometimes i wake up feeling sweaty down there..i went to a doctor and it didn't help me at all .

is it due to masturbation?

i'm 20 years old.

i would appreciate it if someone could help me.

    This could be Lichen Sclerosus, check up with your doctor for a possibly circumcision

      Does Lichen Sclerosus white spot disappear over time like mine ? . and i'm circumcised, plus my white spots are more pinki-sh than white unlike Lichen Sclerosus.

      Thank you for the help .

      Do you have any other skin conditions anywhere else on your body? it could be LS but there are other conditions with similar symptoms. it could be jock itchy do you have athlete foot? or it could even be some psoriasis? Have you tried any creams perhaps a antifungal would be the first to try it it doesn't improve then go back to the doctor.
