What Is The Treatment For The Foreskin Cracks, Itching And Dry Skin?
I think i suspect I have Lichen Sclerosus on my foreskin.
For the past 5 years i have foreskin cracks itches and dryskin.. I have been applying Quadriderm for the past 4 years regularly. It cures in one week. But again in 2 weeks or so I am hetting the problem again.
Foreskin cracks are common also with an yeast infection. Especially if you are a Diabetic individual it could occur more frequently. A tight control of Diabetes, simultaneous treatment for sexual partners with anti-fungal creams and oral tablets for 3-4 weeks will cure your problem. Genital Lichen Sclerosis can also manifest like this. Skin looks thinned out and looking dry due to atrophy and preputial (foreskin) opening and urethral opening got narrowed with difficulty in retratcion of foreskin and difficulty in passing urine. This condition can be confirmed by biopsy and circumcision is good solution for the same. Consult a Dermato-venereolgist, he will guide you better. Dr S.Murugan
