Rash on penis

Posted , 2 users are following.

Hello there,

I started to see this rash sorta on the tip of my penis.It is not painful,it does not itch or anything.I don't know what to expect because of everything that I've read here I haven't found a single answer before building up the courage to go to the doctor.I've had sex only twice since the beginning of the year and masturbate a lot also.I use a sock sometimes(don't judge).Any help would be appreciated.The rash is not longer or wider than what is shown but the picture is taken after I have washed down there.Normally it's not so dark ,just a little red

    This is what I saw in the morning after waking up

      That looks worse than in the other picture, but it still looks like balanitis.  I'd try canesten cream if I were you, and I'd see a doctor if it doesn't clear up within a week.

    It looks like mild balanitis.  These links may help:

    Wash your penis (including behind foreskin) with water at least once a day, and urinate and wash after you've ejaculated.  I'd recommend not using a sock too, as friction won't help.

    You could also try canesten cream. In your position, I wouldn't see a doctor unless it doesn't clear up in a week.  If you do see a doctor though, please let us know what they say.

      The thing is that from that article it says that it itches or I should be feeling some discomfort,but I don't. It's just there.

      As far as I can tell, neither of those articles mention itching, and I don't think everyone gets that.

      This is how it looks like now after a week of thorough washing and cleaning.I still have that small reddish spot and because of work and holidays here I haven't been able to go to a doctor yet.It still does not hurt,nor itch,no other symptoms.Nothing.I still plan on going to the doctor just to be sure.
