rash on abdominal area around penis

I was wondering I have a rash/ redish blotches around my abdominal area. What could this be? Its not itchy nor does it burn or anything its just there. I just noticed it. I trimmed about 2 weeks ago and last time i had sex was a week ago. Any clue what this is and what to do to get rid of it or if dangerous.

thank you for your time. I looked at it today and its lighter. I think its due to heat rash/chafing. Again thank you

The main sexually acquired cause that comes to mind is crab lice, which sometimes are accompanied by bluish or purple spots (called maculae ceruleae, literally "blue patches").  The lice and their nits (eggs) can be hard to see.  However, they usually itch.

Otherwise, I can't speculate.  You'll need to see a health care provider.  In the meantime, I wouldn't worry; I doubt it's anything serious.

Good luck--  HHH, MD
