Causes for penile lesions that are non sexually related?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Dr. James Lin answered

Here are some...: Those in foreskin are usually related with infection (usually fungus; rarely bacterial.) from poor topical hygiene; occasionally, psoriasis or lichen atrophicus may occur. Those for penile skin may be overactive sebaceous gland, mole, atopic dermatitis, etc. More? Seek pro-evaluation and counseling.
