Summary

Genital dermatillomania, a rare condition, can cause severe genital ulcers. Early recognition and treatment are crucial to prevent devastating outcomes like penile loss.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Dermatology
  • Psychiatry

Background:

  • Dermatillomania, or skin-picking disorder, is a recognized psychiatric condition.
  • Genital involvement is rarely documented and not established as a distinct entity.

Observation:

  • This report details two cases of genital dermatillomania.
  • Case 1 presented with mild ulcers, resolving with counseling.
  • Case 2 involved severe, recurrent ulcers leading to penile loss and reconstructive surgery.

Findings:

  • Genital dermatillomania can manifest with varying severity.
  • It presents a potential, unrecognized cause for genital ulcers.

Implications:

  • Urologists should consider dermatillomania in the differential diagnosis of genital ulcers.
Keywords:
