Plasma cell balanitis (PCB) is a rare benign skin disease characterized by a shiny and well-defined reddish patch on the glans penis.1 Male genital lichen sclerosus (MGLS) is characterized by atrophic ivory plaques, and some scholars link it to autoimmunity.2 Both PCB and MGLS can arise from redundant prepuce and exposure to chronic irritation such as prolonged urine infiltration, making their simultaneous occurrence in a patient possible.3 Treatments for PCB include calcineurin inhibitors, steroid ointments, and circumcision.
