Try Free Symptom QuizWhat is Extramammary Paget's Disease?
Skin rashes can be VERY confusing. Most are due to contact with something irritating and are easily treated with over the counter creams. However, there are some that need to be seen by a physician and possibly biopsied. One of these is Extramammary Paget's disease (EMPD). It is a scaly, raised red to pink and grey rash that occurs most commonly where the skin is folded over such as the armpits, the genital areas, or the groin in men or women. EMPD is often ignored or diagnosed late due to its innocent appearance. It is important to see a physician if you have a rash in these areas that does not go away as it may be cancerous. Multiple treatments are available and patients do well when it is caught early.
Typical Symptoms of Extramammary Paget's Disease
- Black/blue/brown spots or moles, on the skin and lining of the mouth
- White patches on the skin
- Skin Itching
- Lumps under the skin
- Scaly skin that flakes off
- Scab
- Skin redness or red bumpy rashes
Diagnostic Questions for Extramammary Paget's Disease
Your doctor may ask these questions to check for this disease:
- Are there black, blue, or brown spots on your skin? (Including moles)
- Do you have any white patches on your skin?
- Is your skin itchy?
- Do you have any lumps under your skin?
- Do you have flaky, scaly skin?
Treatment of Extramammary Paget's Disease
The standard treatment is surgical removal of the cancer. Radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and targeted therapies may also be used depending on the exact nature of the underlying tumor if one is found. Surgical resection is the preferred treatment, however some lesions may not be easily removed surgically and may require radiation therapy or chemotherapy. There are also surface treatments such as lasers or photodynamic therapy that may be used. Close monitoring after successful treatment should be done for at least 5 years.

Female, 40s
I was actually very impressed with the results it provided because, although I didn’t mention it during the questionnaire because I thought it was unrelated, it suggested I may have something I’ve actually been diagnosed with in the past.
