Hello,
This kind of rash can be balanitis(an inflammation of the glans penis), balanitis obliterans xerotica and Zoo’s balanitis.It will only after examination can the diagnosis be confirmed.So pls consult a dermatologist for this.Treatment depends on the confirmation.

I hope that helps.Take care and pls do keep me posted on how you are doing or if you have any additional doubts.Kind regards.
