Hello
Thanks for posting your query at DoctorSpring.com
I can understand your concern.
You seem to be having lichen planus which is a papulosquamous condition.
Its a chronic condition. There is no cause for it. It presents as lesions which are slightly scaly n cause itching.
The treatment to keep it in control would be application of cortisone cream mixed with Mupirocin cream twice a day for ten days. In case the condition doesn't start resolving application of a higher strength steroid cream would be beneficial but you will require a prescription for it.
Feel free to discuss further,
Regards.

Thanks for your advide doc!
I also get an itchy feeling oftenly. Also, I missed to mention to you earlier that I am married. So in that case would you suggest any precautions to be taken during intercourse.
Would also like to know incase anything particualr needs to be followed for maintaining the hygiene of the organ.
Can you suggest me any particualr brand name available for "cortisone cream" and the "Mupirocin cream"?
Hello
Thanks for your reply.
There would be no problem during intercourse. It does not transmit sexually.
For the itching you can take an anti histamine like claritin daily at night.
Brand names for cortisone would be cortaid cream and for Mupirocin cream would be bactroban cream.
Just keep it clean by bathing twice daily.
Take care
Regards.
