[Penile dermatoses].

The diagnostics of penile skin alterations represent a urological and dermatological challenge. The spectrum of differential diagnoses ranges from benign skin alterations with no clinical significance, through infections, vesiculobullous diseases and neoplasms up to acute diseases necessitating emergency interventions. Evidence-based therapy concepts are not available for all these diseases and due to the rarity an interdisciplinary cooperation is expedient and promising.
