Blotchy red rash/irritated skin on penile head (lasted for over 3 moths now)?

It’s such a relief finding this post, knowing that others are in the same boat! After having countless appointments with a Dermatolegist telling me ‘it all looks fine’ and prescribing the same antifungal/steroid creams. 

I have exactly the same symptoms which get better/worse daily. I too only started having these symptoms after completing a course of doxycycline (which was for a bacterial skin infection I had ‘Staphylococcus Aureus’)

Has anybody been able to completely clear this up yet? Even if it was just over a long period of time? I have experienced these symtoms for approximately 3 months but that seems a short time compared to others on this feed.

I have also got an irritated anus which I cannot seem to clear up. Not sure if this is at all related but this all started when I had a bad dose of food poisoning, which in turn caused my skin infection, hence why I was on doxycycline.  Has anybody else had any similar problems?

Keep the transparency coming lads, we’ll get there in the end! Positive mindset ??

I've been dealing with what seems like the same issue for a couple months. I'm wondering if it is just skin irritation. I have sensitive skin and the tip of the penis is especially sensitive.

I have found some relief. When irritated or chapped, I have found chapstick maybe helps and to avoid irritating it, I use petroleum jelly to keep it moisturized. Using pj before going out for the day or before the gym seemingly helps keep it somewhat at bay.

Using these two hasn't made it go away but I feel has caused redness to go down and make it much less noticeable. My money is one some sort of psoriasis or eczema but I am unsure and still get concerned by thoughts of yeast infection or herpes. I did date a girl that had herpes last year, she was medicated with no recent outbreaks and we only had protected sex all but once. I really don't think it is herpes though because it didn't appear until several months after that relationship ended and I never had any of the symptoms. No pains, no sores.

I hope to continue to hear updates on everyone's progress.

I have exactly the same symtom.Since almost one year. I have been to the doctor 3 times but still anybody know what it is.  I´ve got flucanazole to take once  a week. It doesn´t make it worst . But it not desapear completly. Sometimes i can get iritation on the body which can desapear: it may be a a reaction on the medicin.. . I feel exactly the same as you. So i would apreciate to be able to exchange information.

Regards

Hi everyone wish I could post pictures to help aid what I’m trying to explain however the symptoms experienced in the original pictures is similar if not the same as what I am experiencing

Basically I have a constant red rash around the meatus at the end of my bellend, sometimes other red patches or small spots on gland. They seem to disappear and reappear all the time no pain or anything. Sometimes I think I see a clear pre cum type fluid appear but not sure and also seem to have developed an itchy arse if related. 

I only was with water now twice a day during showers and also have been tested for all stds apart from herpes and have got the all clear. I don’t think it is herpes because I’ve not had a sore as such or a spot that opens or ooozes. 

Seems like there’s a lot of people with the same symptoms and just get dismissed from doctors!! What’s going on here people because it’s stressing my out. Genuinely bringing me down can’t understand do we all have a new strain if something unknown to science because it seems like it!

Ok guys I may be able to help. Here is a brief of my similar situation. Visited massage parlor due to legitimate shoulder pain. Was offered sex, went with it. Asian massage therapist brought in an already opened condom. It was bright white from what I can recall. Put it on me, the rest is fairly straightforward. Almost exactly 24hrs after I  had a burning or irritated sensation at the top of my penis. Looks exactly what was pictured by Jason above. I’ve assumed it must be one of the following: 1)irritation due to cheap latex condom aka dermatitis 2)tainted condom by therapist (possibly rubbed onto existing hsv sore, or put bleach or sanitizer in it to prevent accumulating an infection for herself?, or put fungal infection into condom by rubbing on herself?(I often speculate that these massage brothels are really a covert attack from China on US citizens via disease, I know that one is out there and you may be inclined to label me here, but hey I’ve seen and learned of worse that has occurred in our human history)

OR 3.) new std or more active form of an old one. 

Long story short, I’m never going to ever go to one of those places again no matter how horny or curious I may be. 

Finally, I have found remedy in my favorite tried and true, castor oil. Get some organic cold pressed castor oil and put a dime size on your palm, lightly dilute with warm water to an almost watery hair gel consistency and palm it onto your penis head gently. Wear it all day u til that s**t is gone. It will burn slightly at some random times during the day but I attribute this to killing the bad. This happened very recently and I’m with the guys here predicting some sort of new std. I’m guessing it’s fungal or some wild strong resilient form of HSV 1 or 2. Whatever it is, the castor oil has reduced what Jason’s original pic looks like down to a very very mild redness near the edge of oenis head that is very hard are to find. And this was in less than 5 days. I really feel like the castor oil will kick its ass. Look it up. Castor oil is anti viral/fungal and has helped with my folliculitus that I am prone to in my thighs. Hope this helps! Good luck and be safe. Resist that crazy horny urge fellas. It often ends with trouble.
