Genital Dermatology in Brisbane (Male & Female)
Specialist Assessment of Genital Skin Conditions
Genital skin conditions are common and affect people of all ages. Symptoms such as itching, pain, redness, rashes, lumps or changes in skin appearance can be distressing, uncomfortable and difficult to discuss.
At Your Dermatologist, genital dermatology is approached with medical rigour, discretion and sensitivity, providing specialist assessment for both male and female genital skin conditions.
What is genital dermatology?
Genital dermatology involves the diagnosis and management of skin conditions affecting the genital and perianal areas, including the vulva, penis, scrotum, foreskin and surrounding skin.
The skin in these areas is anatomically and functionally different from other parts of the body and requires specialist expertise for accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment.
Common genital skin symptoms
People may seek assessment for symptoms such as:
Persistent itch or irritation
Redness, rash or scaling
Pain, burning or discomfort
Lumps, bumps or skin thickening
Changes in skin colour or texture
Recurrent or non-healing lesions
These symptoms can arise from inflammatory, infectious, autoimmune or other dermatological conditions.
Conditions commonly assessed
Genital dermatology includes assessment of conditions such as:
Inflammatory skin conditions (e.g. eczema, psoriasis, seborrheic dermatitis affecting the genital area)
Chronic vulval or penile dermatoses
Recurrent rashes or irritation
Pigment or texture changes
Benign and concerning skin lesions
Many genital skin conditions are not sexually transmitted, and accurate diagnosis is essential to avoid unnecessary anxiety or inappropriate treatment.
Why specialist assessment matters
Genital skin conditions are frequently:
Misdiagnosed
Treated incorrectly with over-the-counter products
Confused with infections or sexually transmitted diseases
Specialist assessment helps to:
Establish an accurate diagnosis
Avoid unnecessary or prolonged treatments
Identify conditions requiring monitoring or biopsy
Provide appropriate, targeted therapy
