Red Rash on Penis

[bob111788]

I have a red rash on my penis. Started 4-5 days ago and isnt getting any better or worse- I have been putting lotion on it but also might have Jock Itch and I think it is the cause of the trouble... My thighs and groin have become very itchy and the penis head on the right side started a light raised bump..

Hello,
It can be due to contact dermatitis or fungal infection. Most cases respond to over-the-counter products, which contain any of several basic ingredients: miconazole, tolnaftate, terbinafine,ketaconazole and clotrimazole.You can consult a pharmacist and get any cream or lotion containing these ingredients.

It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
