  • Title: The treatment of balanitis xerotica obliterans with testosterone propionate ointment.
    Author: Pasieczny TA.
    Journal: Acta Derm Venereol; 1977; 57(3):275-7. PubMed ID: 71837.
    Abstract:
    Balanitis xerotica obliterans (BXO) and kraurosis penis are thought to be synonymous. Clinically and histopathologically they probably represent the same disease process as lichen sclerosus et atrophicus (LSA) but also involve the urethral mucosa. The treatment of choice is considered to be 2 1/2% testosterone propionate ointment which gives better results than strong corticosteroid applications, yet without their side effects.
