dry spot on penis

Hi there about a month ago I had unprotected sex. then about 2 weeks later I developed what looked like a rash. the next day it was dry so i just peeled it off then the next day it was just still red and it was like that for another 2 weeks bringing us to now but over that 2 weeks it kind of disapears to the shade of my penis head i tired putting baby oil on it and that seemed to help but then this morning i woke up and it was dry again so over the month its only really been dry about 3 times the rest of the time its just red it is smooth just feels like my penis head doesnt pop out doesnt hurt doesnt itch I am not sexually active other then that time and I am circumsized I went to the doctor and they tested for STD's everything came up negative I showed him and he said it might be a wart and to come back in about 3 weeks and if it leaks or anything like that come see him right away but it has not leaked its always dry... oh and its not very big size of a dime i guess..

So I dont know what to do! please help me with figuring out what it is!

Hi,

This is a condition called balanitis.Balanitis is inflammation of the glans (glands) penis. Lack of aeration and irritation because of smegma and discharge surrounding the glans (glands) penis causes inflammation and edema.More common in uncircumcised males.

It is usually caused by poor hygiene in uncircumcised men. The inflammation can be due to infection, harsh soaps, or failure to properly rinse soap off while bathing.
One common organism associated with balanitis is a yeast known as Candida albicans.  Balanitis may occur because of excessive growth of Candida, due to moisture and warmth under the foreskin.

It can be treated by applying Miconazole, an anti-fungal medication.Most cases of balanitis can be controlled with medicated creams and good hygiene.

Inflammation has many possible causes, including irritation by environmental substances, physical trauma, and infection by a wide variety of pathogens, including bacteria, virus, or fungus—each of which require a particular treatment.

Retract the foreskin daily and soak in warm water to clean penis and foreskin. Apply bacitracin (not Neosporin) for pediatric patients if bacterial infection is suspected.
Apply topical clotrimazole for adult men with probable candidal balanitis.

If the symptoms persist, you would need to consult your doctor.
