A reddish rash could be fungal, balanitis, an allergic reaction to something - there are a lot of possibilities that aren't STDs.

I'm not sure what the "obvious reasons" are that make you afraid to test. Testing allows you to treat earlier and cure faster. Just go get it checked and ease your mind. Don't attempt to treat it - you might use the wrong thing and either make it worse, or affect the testing.
