Summary

MD or PhD Medical Writer Needed for Article on Male Genital and Perianal Skin Sensitivity Job Description: I’m looking for an MD, PhD, PharmD, PA, or NP-level medical writer to help develop an evidence-based article on the sensitivity of skin in the male genital and perianal areas. This is not related to a product, brand, or commercial claim. The goal is to create a thoughtful, well-sourced article for an educated general audience that explains why skin in these areas may require more careful consideration than skin elsewhere on the body. The piece should explore topics such as: Why genital and perianal skin may be more sensitive than other areas differences in skin thickness and barrier characteristics, where supported by evidence Why irritation, friction, and harsh cleansing can matter more in these areas Why intimate skin deserves a more serious, informed conversation Possible working angles include: -Why Sensitive Skin Needs a More Serious Conversation -Not All Skin Is the Same — Especially Here -Why Trust Matters More When Skin Is More Delicate I have seen research suggesting that genital skin behaves differently from regular skin, and that a 2022 systematic review found the penis had the lowest epidermal thickness reported among healthy human body sites in the studies analyzed. I would like the writer to evaluate, validate, and accurately incorporate this type of information where appropriate, using careful language and proper sourcing. Scope I’m looking for help with: -reviewing relevant medical and scientific literature -validating or refining claims -drafting a clear, evidence-based article in plain English ensuring the tone is credible, balanced, and medically responsible -including citations, references, or source notes Deliverable -One article of approximately 800–1,200 words -Written for an educated general audience, not a specialist journal -Clear, readable, and authoritative -Properly sourced -No promotional product language -No exaggerated or unsupported claims Ideal Background Strong candidates will have: advanced medical or scientific credentials, experience writing about dermatology, skin physiology, skin barrier function, men’s health, sexual health, or intimate skin, and the ability to translate scientific literature into accessible language a balanced tone that is serious and informative without being alarmist, awkward, or overly clinical Preference for candidates with publication, guideline, CME, or peer-reviewed medical writing experience. Please only apply if you can write for a lay audience without sounding like an academic journal. This topic should be handled with maturity and medical credibility, not sensationalism. To Apply Please send: -A brief note on your background relevant to this topic -Sample(s) of similar medical or scientific writing -Your estimated fee and turnaround time I’m looking for someone who can make this article both scientifically credible and highly readable.
