I have white patches on my glans and on my foreskin. Could be lichen sclerosus?

Thank you for the help.

      Thanks for your answer. I have had this for about three weeks. Yesterday I went to the urologist, he told me it's candidiasis.

      Is it better with anti-fungal cream? For me it does not seem like typical fungal infection...

    Hi Alex you should have it checked with your doctor or dermatologist it could be lichen sclerosus or BXO but you need to have it diagnosed if it is you will need treatment. How long have you had it for? and did your frenulum tare at any time?

      exactly! my first thought was something to do with the frenulum! cuz more than a infection or a fungus or whatever it looks like a healed skin!? (like something healed on it's own after an injury!) so..?! yeahh details on that!

      Thanks Ivan and Aryan for your answer. I have had this for about three weeks. Yesterday I went to the urologist, he told me it's fungus. Maybe I tore my frenulum once during masturbation, but it didn't hurt too much and I didn't know about it.

      That's good news Alex when you have only had it a few weeks it probably is yeast fungal infection it should clear up with treatment. Yes You could have tore your frenulum at some point or maybe it was always like that. Let us know how you get on with your treatment!

    Hello everyone:

    Treatment of candidiasis did not work. I went to another urologist. He told me what he feared most: lichen sclerosus.

    You guys were kind to me, and one way to say thank you is to keep you posted. I will be living with this disease.

    Thank you.
