Shiny non-itchy rash

Shiny non-itchy rash

I had a shiny,scaly skin rash under my penis 2 month back and i refered a doctor.He prescribed me an antibiotic(Amoxicillin).The rash was not itchy but was infectious.
After taking the oral medication for 5 days thrice a day(500mg) symptoms faded away after about a week.But now the same symptoms are showing again.
I want to know the cause for recurrence and how to cure the rash.Can the clothes i wear have an effect on the recurrence of the rash?
thank you very much

Hi,

You should maintain clean personal hygiene. It would help to wash all your clothes in an antiseptic solution like savlon or dettol (chlorhexidine).

You should talk to your doctor about your diagnosis and also if you need to do another course of antibiotic treatment.

What is your age?

Try wearing lose clothes and apply calamine lotion at the site and see if it helps with your symptoms.

Let us know if you have any doubts and post us about how you are doing.

Regards.
