Your privacy, comfort, and long-term health are his top priorities.

Common Causes of Male Genital Skin Disease

The male genital area is particularly vulnerable to skin irritation and infection due to moisture and friction. The presence of the foreskin creates a naturally occlusive environment, which can trap sweat, and irritants – further increasing the risk of inflammation and microbial overgrowth. Common causes of male genital skin disease include:

Infections

  • Bacterial infections – Often associated with other underlying conditions or trauma
  • Fungal infections – “Jock itch” from excess moisture
  • Parasitic infections – Such as scabies or pubic lice
  • Viral infections – Commonly caused by HPV or herpes

Inflammatory and Autoimmune Conditions

  • Eczema and psoriasis – Can cause itching, redness, and scaling
  • Lichen sclerosus (LSc) – A chronic inflammatory condition that presents with white patches, scarring, and irritation. It can be subtle in onset and may progress slowly, affecting the penis little by little over many years—often without obvious symptoms in the early stages. (Dr. Kravvas is one of the world’s leading experts in male genital LSc), with extensive research and clinical experience in its diagnosis and management.

Allergic Reactions

  • Reactions to soaps, detergents, latex, chemicals, or other topical products can lead to genital irritation and rash.

Reducing your risk

Certain steps can help minimise your risk of developing male genital skin conditions:

Maintain balanced hygiene – avoid both under- and over-washing

Avoid unprotected sexual contact

Wear loose-fitting, breathable underwear

Maintain a healthy weight

Be aware of predisposing conditions such as diabetes or immunosuppression, which can increase susceptibility to infections

Your Personalised Diagnosis and Treatment Plan

A confidential consultation is the essential first step. Dr. Kravvas will assess your condition, perform any necessary investigations (including skin biopsy if required), and tailor your treatment accordingly.

Treatment Options for Male Genital Skin Conditions

Depending on your condition, treatment of male genital skin disease may require:

Medical & Topical Therapies

Treatment may include:

  • Corticosteroid creams – Against inflammation

Recovery Time for Laser & Cryotherapy

Recovery from genital skin procedures is typically smooth, fast, and well-tolerated. Most patients report little to no pain following treatment, and the area usually heals with minimal or no scarring. One of the key reasons for this excellent healing response is the rich blood supply to the genital area, which promotes rapid tissue regeneration and reduces the risk of complications.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

When is surgery necessary?

Surgery may be needed when conservative treatment fails, particularly in cases of:

  • Severe or refractory Lichen Sclerosus
  • Phimosis (inability to retract the foreskin)
  • Recurrent infections, ulcers, or persistent lesions
  • Bothersome cysts or large skin tags

How long does treatment take?

Most laser, cryotherapy, and plasma treatments are completed in one session. Complete recovery typically takes a few days.

Is the treatment painful?

Most patients find genital procedures very well-tolerated, with minimal discomfort during the treatment. Recovery is typically fast, smooth, and painless, with most patients experiencing little to no post-procedure pain. Mild sensitivity may occur in the first few days, but it usually resolves quickly without the need for strong pain relief.

Can my insurance cover the treatment?

Some procedures may be covered if deemed medically necessary. Please check with your insurer. Supporting documentation is available upon request.
