Have Problems With Skin, Acne, Rashes, Red Patch On Penis With Sore. Is It Genital Psoriasis? Help?

I think I have psoriasis, more specifically, genital psoriasis. I have always had problems with my skin. Acne, rashes etc. A few months ago I had noticed a red patch on the cusp of my penis, it was pink and shiny and I began to worry like crazy. I haven't had sex very often, and when I do I'm protected. I do masturbate. I googled several pictures pictures and it does look and sound like genital psoriasis. I decided to wait because I was embarrassed and scared. Many months past by, sex free, and then recently after masturbation a new sore red patch appeared, it was pink and very tender. I'm beginning to worry, very much that my life may be over as I know it. I would feel a little better with a few answers. I have some pictures if need be.

Hi,
Welcome to HCM.

Genital psoriasis may be an isolated patch or multiple in number. Well circumscribed and localized and not diffuse. It is not difficult to cure and not very harmful. Usually not painful.
Anyhow a blood work up to rule out other STD/ HIV is recommended. As you had only protected exposures the possibility of STD is rare.
Consult your Dermatologist and follow his guidelines.
