In this short letter of correspondence, we provide our specialist interpretation of what has been described in a previously published case report. We argue that this case describes a patient with chronic, undertreated male genital lichen sclerosus. If left unchecked, as in this case, lichen sclerosus can cause permanent architectural changes and damage to the affected tissues, and can thus predisposes to secondary infections, including bacterial, such as with Staphylococcus haemolyticus .

Comments to Author
I agree with the content and suggestion of this letter. The authors are experts in the field and suggest a plausible/ likely alternative diagnosis. The original case while certainly interesting did have weaknesses in establishing Staphylococcus haemolyticus as a single causative organism. We thank you for this response which adds context to the original article
