It may be asymptomatic or cause itching and burning; it mainly affects women, although there are cases described in the penis. It presents as hypopigmented or erythematous papules that come together to form plaques. The treatment is complex, there are reports of the use of topical steroids and tacrolimus, cryotherapy, laser cauterization with varying results but there is almost always relapse.
