A member asked:
Can balanitis turn into balanitis xeroderma obliterans. dont know if i have balanitis. had this for 8 months. did i wait to late circumcised at birth?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Balanitis: Typically cases of balanitis don't persist that long. I would suspect a chronic disorder like lichen sclerosus especially if there's associated significant itching. I recommend an evaluation by a dermatologist or urologist for diagnosis and treatment.
