About 3 days ago I noticed a red, irritated area around the crown of my glans. I didn't think much of it at the time; I merely dismissed it as a minor irritation due to friction, or heat. Since then the area (about 1.25 x 1.25 cm) appears to be slightly swollen in comparison to the surrounding tissue, and beginning to take on a reddish color. I do experience a light itching sensation from time to time, but only when friction occurs (working, moving, walking, etc..). I have not experienced any discharge from the area or from my penis, nor have I had discomfort when urinating.
I had a discussion with my fiance, and she informed me that she had a complete screening less than 3 weeks ago, when she started her birth control. I don't want to jump to conclusions and start looking into STD possibilities, but if anyone has any ideas what may cause random rashes such as this, I'd appreciate the information.
Oh yes, and I have been diagnosed with Dyshidrotic Eczema...not sure if this may have some sort of link to it.
Thanks.
