title: Common dermatoses of the male genitalia. Recognition of differences in genital rashes and lesions is essential and attainable.
abstract: Dermatoses of the male genitalia can be confusing to identify and difficult to diagnose and treat. Rashes and lesions that occur on other areas of the body can be hard to recognize when they appear on the genitalia. In this article, Dr Goldman reviews the common dermatoses, presents defining characteristics, and suggests treatment options.
