Published: November 2017

Dermatillomania is a rare disease that seldom affects the genitals. Genital dermatillomania has not yet been recognized as a separate entity within the disease. The purpose of the report is to highlight a new facet of dermatillomania and inform urologists that dermatillomania could be a potential reason for genital ulcers. This report documents 2 cases of genital dermatillomania which vary in severity from mild (case 1), where the patient's ulcers healed after extensive counseling, to extremely dire (case 2), where the patient lost his penis after recurring ulcers and multiple reconstructive surgeries. Clinicians should be aware of the characteristics of dermatillomania to ensure that appropriate therapy can be promptly initiated to prevent morbidity.
