HOW CAN GENITAL SKIN CONDITIONS BE TREATED?
Take good basic care of your genital skin:
We recommend the use of simple creams to wash with in place of soap as soap residue is very drying and irritant. Examples include aqueous cream or Dermol 500.
Regular emollients in the form of oil or water-based moisturisers help protect the area and act as a barrier to prevent further irritation. Examples of oil-based emollients include Vaseline, Epaderm and Hydromol. Examples of water-based creams include Doublebase, Cetraben and Diprobase
Finally a combination of anti-inflammatory creams or ointments might be of use. These can range in strength from mild, to very potent. Often topical antibiotics or antifungal medication will be used in addition to control inflammation and secondary infection.
Remember, letting an expert examine and treat you might be all that is needed to improve your condition.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How are genital skin conditions diagnosed?
Your consultant dermatologist will examine the affected skin to reach a diagnosis. Further tests may be required to confirm a diagnosis and these may include swab tests, blood tests or a skin biopsy.
What common skin conditions are seen in the genital area?
Common skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis and skin cancer can also affect the genital area. Treatments for these conditions may be different to treatments for other areas of the body so it is important to see a dermatologist and get the most appropriate treatment for your condition.
Can I request a consultant dermatologist of my own gender?
Of course. If you require an appointment for a genital skin condition and would prefer to see a consultant of the same gender as you, just let us know when you book your appointment and this can be arranged.
