Hello,
Form the symptoms the possibilities of lichen sclerosus and balanitis xerotica. Lichen sclerosis appears as white, dry plaques on the glans, foreskin or shaft of the penis. Balanitis xerotica is a severe form of lichen sclerosis. Psoraisis can also cause dry ,itchy skin rashes.
In my opinion a clinical examination by a dermatologist will help in confirming a diagnosis as treatment depends on the same. Please get it done.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
I did see a Dermatologist on 8/31/2010 and it appears to may have started (in her opinion) as contact dermatitis with subsequent secondary impexiginizuxier. She prescribed Cephalexin 500 mg capsules and Nystatin/Triamcinolone Topical ointment.
Since I started treatment 8/31, the calous is softening and the pain has diminished yet I have had a high fevor (1st night 101.4, last night 99.9) and sweating throughout the night.
I see the Dermatologist on 9/8/2010 for follow-up and hope that before then this clears up more.
Thank you for your imput, its much appreciated.
