Penis rash from last two months. Really scared :(

Posted , 10 users are following.

I have noticed this pink rash on penis glans 2 months ago. Initially I thought it will go away on its own

but after few weeks it didn't go away. instead a new rash or lesion type thing started to grow. after that i visited a dermatologist he gave me some medicines for both bacterial and fungal infection. it's been 2 weeks I'm taking these medicines and applying cream on it so far there is no change.

As in one of the photo you can see at the base of glans there was scaly skin formed.

only that skin is smoothened in two weeks. everything else is as it is.

Also 4-5 days ago one more lesion appeared it was burning a lot and also itching. with cream it has soothed but not completely gone.

what exactly is this? has anybody had this? how did you got rid of it? I'm so scared of it being penile cancer.

I'm thinking of using CBD oil or RSO oil(if i get it) now. has anyone used cannabis oil for penis rashes? what was the result?

    I have a very similar issue at the base of the glans. I just saw a dermatologist at a top tier university hospital and he was confident as this had no pain or itching that there was nothing serious. He said biopsy would not even cross his mind.

    Diagnosis is idiopathic balanitis. No fungal or bacterial reason, likely irritation + stress. I was on ketoconazole 2mg cream and he told me to discontinue it.

    Aquaphor was his only reco. He recommended leaving it alone and keep it clean. FYI, I am circumsized.

    Hope this helps.

      Hey Eric,

      Thanx for your reply.

      one of my best friend is a doctor, he is orthopaedic surgeon. I showed him the photos, just to see what he thinks. He told me its a fungal infection and sometimes it takes a 10-12 weeks to get rid of it.

      As, I've seen slight improvement in last seven days. He said if it doesn't itch,burn and not growing then don't worry about it. it'll go away on its own. just keep eye on it.

      So far the most similar photos I've seen to my issue is only in 2 threads on this forum, one is yours and there is one more similar thread on this forum about this thing.

      I'm also circumcised, that's why I'm worried about it is being something serious.

      Hopefully it get resolved.

      Hey guys I have the exact same issue. Any help will be greatly appreciated I've been to 3 doctors and been on Lamsil, Hydrocortisone cream and one other cream none worked. Mine's exactly like this picture almost but it gets white and scaly if left alone for some time. If erect it turns a blotchy red colour

    how's your situation now? Do you have any pains while urinating? Do you have any issues with urine flow?

      I visited urologist 6 days ago, for my hemorrhoid and i also showed him my penis rash.

      he gave me "clobetasol propionate + clotrimazole + neomycin sulphate cream" this cream is a combination of steroid, antifungal and antibacterial infection.

      as it's a steroid cream he told me to apply it twice for 7-8 days.

      whenever i apply cream the redness becomes a little faint.

      but the problem is in last 7 days i masturbated for 3 times in 3 days days. so the redness came back as soon as i masturbated.

      Right now from last 3 days I'm in nofap mode till this gets resolved.

      even though my penile skin looked worse in above photos(which is healed now except red rash) I had no pain at all

      no pain on the rash, no itching, no pain with the urine flow as well.

      Also around a week ago i had a electric shock like pain from my penis tip to my anus region. I googled my symptoms and talked with my doctor friend it was similar to "perineal neuralgia" he gave me some medicines for neurological treatment and told me to do pelvic floor exercises. In three days that pain was gone. n never came back.

      So, to answer your question I never had any pain from my red rash and the dry skin as seen in above photos. also so far I have no pain for the urine flow as well.

      Okay,

      Make a forum post here about your issue, as it will help others as well.

      Best

    Sounds like some kind of skin problem, like lichen sclerosus. Most skin issues on the head of the penis and the foreskin are caused by urine left on.

    Try rolling back your foreskin each time you pee and drying afterwards with toilet paper. Do this every time you pee, same after you ejaculate.

    I suffered with lichen sclerosus for years, steroid creams only worked temporarily. The above method solved my problem permanently.

    It will clear up in a week or two.
