HI
Thanks for posting your query to Healthcaremagic

It could be Lichen Planus only but since it has happened over Genitalia other conditions also must also be considered.

I need to know whether you had any unprotected sex recently , in that case we need to consider Sexually transmitted Diseases first.

Also let me know whether you have been started on any medications as drug reaction is one of the possibility.

I would recommend you either re visit your doctor or kindly upload the pictures so that I can see and diagnose what it is .

Hope this information was useful to you.
Any clarifications feel free to ask .

Regards.
