It can be due to friction rub, infection of the penis head or STD’s like Chlamydia or Gonorrhea (less likely). Avoid intercourse and masturbation till the area gets healed. Wash the areas several times with fresh water. Do not use any cosmetic products at the sites. You can apply some calamine lotion at the rash as it will help in soothing the skin. Also wear cotton undergarments. Application of mild corticosteroid cream and oral antiinflammatories like ibuprofen/acetaminophen are also helpful. If the symptoms are severe then it will be best to consult a dermatologist and get a complete STD panel test done.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided.
