Зображення 00053. Seborrheic dermatitis on the penis

The penis is the target of many common skin diseases. In this case the patch is (a part of patient's) seborrheic dermatitis. Cure was rapid with a 1-week course of a semi-potent corticosteroid. Because patients generally fear any deviation from normal in this skin region it is important to reach a correct diagnosis without delay. Differential diagnostics include Erythroplasia Queyrat – Bowen's disease of the glans region – that can be identified with biopsy only and is treated by a specialist.
