There is a wide range of diseases that affect the male genital organs. There is a wide range of diseases that affect the male genital organs. Inflammation of the glans penis (balanitis) occurs in 3–11% of males during their lifetime; one of its leading causes is poor hygiene. However, many non-venereal dermatoses occur in this anatomical region. Most often, patients complain of itching, as well as pain, burning, and various rashes. The most common reason for seeking medical attention is irritant contact dermatitis. Various allergens cause more acute reactions in the anogenital region due to the structural features of the skin of the genitals. Components of detergents and hygiene products, accessories for sexual practices, medications, and contraceptives can become provoking factors of genital allergic dermatitis. Among the dermatoses affecting the male genitalia, lichen planus should be noted, which occurs in males twice as often as in females, and the oral mucosa is often involved in the inflammatory process. Lichen sclerosus can also occur on the skin of the penis, leading to phimosis, a decrease in quality of sexual life, and often requiring circumcision. Psoriasis also can affect the anogenital area. Rashes may be isolated, but other anatomical areas are also involved in most cases. Psoriatic lesions of the genitals are visually different from typical elements in other areas of the skin. Minimizing discomfort due to these diseases is possible by using specialized care products. The skin of the genitals in men has specific features that are important to consider when developing the composition of the products.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>Несмотря на то, что интимная гигиена играет важную роль в профилактике различных генитальных заболеваний, в настоящее время исследований, посвященных данной тематике, насчитывается немного. Существует широкий спектр заболеваний, которые поражают мужские половые органы. Воспаление головки полового члена (баланит) встречается у 3–11% мужчин в течение жизни, одной из основных причин которого является недостаточная гигиена. Однако существует целый ряд невенерических дерматозов, которые встречаются в данной анатомической области. Чаще всего пациенты жалуются на зуд, но называют и другие симптомы, такие как боль, жжение, различного рода высыпания. Наиболее распространенной причиной обращения к специалисту становится ирритантный контактный дерматит. Различные аллергены вызывают более острые реакции в аногенитальной области ввиду особенностей строения кожного покрова гениталий. Провоцирующим фактором генитального аллергического дерматита могут стать компоненты моющих и гигиенических средств, аксессуары для сексуальных практик, лекарственные препараты и средства контрацепции. Среди дерматозов, поражающих мужские гениталии, следует отметить красный плоский лишай, который встречается у мужчин в 2 раза чаще, чем у женщин, а в воспалительный процесс зачастую вовлекается и слизистая рта. На коже полового члена также может встречаться склератрофический лихен, при котором довольно часто наблюдается фимоз, ухудшается качество сексуальной жизни и требуется проведение обрезания. Другим дерматозом, поражающим аногенитальную область, является псориаз. Высыпания могут быть изолированными, но в основном затрагиваются и другие анатомические области. Псориатические поражения гениталий визуально отличаются от типичных элементов на других участках кожи. Минимизировать неприятные симптомы, возникающие на фоне перечисленных заболеваний, возможно с помощью специализированных средств ухода. Кожа половых органов у мужчин имеет свои особенности, что важно учитывать при разработке состава средств.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>care products</kwd><kwd>anogenital dermatoses</kwd><kwd>genital allergic dermatitis</kwd><kwd>genital psoriasis</kwd><kwd>lichen planus</kwd><kwd>lichen sclerosus</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>средства ухода</kwd><kwd>аногенитальные дерматозы</kwd><kwd>генитальный аллергический дерматит</kwd><kwd>генитальный псориаз</kwd><kwd>красный плоский лишай</kwd><kwd>склератрофический лихен</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Durando P, Icardi G, Ansaldi F, et al.
