[Urological dermatosis].

Urologists are often confronted with venereal and dermatological diseases during clinical evaluation of the external genitals. Dermatosis of the male genitalia ranges from infectious (viral and bacterial) lesions and inflammatory conditions to neoplastic alterations. There are also more general skin diseases (e.g. psoriasis) which occur as genital manifestations. In this case they often show unusual characteristics or the genitalia might be involved only incidentally. This review highlights the clinical diagnosis and therapy of the most common genital skin disorders and demonstrates the medical features.
