Are there other symptoms present? Eczema most commonly affects other parts of the body, but it may also appear on the penis. This may be a skin reaction to an irritant or caused by infection or local reaction to skin injury from chemicals or radiation. It presents as diffuse red plaques with a poorly defined edge and finely scaled surface. I would recommend that you have this evaluated further by your doctor for proper management. The area has a very thin and sensitive skin, hence, it is not advisable to put anything on it. There are a number of effective treatments available, and this will also depend on the results of the physical examination.
