Rash on Penis head & foreskin

For the last about 10-15 days, I have severe cracking of the foreskin along with swelling and also the color of the head of my penis varies - day to day - from blotchy gray patches to small bright red spots (underside of head).  I tried cleaning with alcohol, but had unbearable pain (acute burning) for quite a long time even after I washed it off with lots of water. Of late, the head seems ok, but the foreskin continues to be cracked and it is extremely painful to clean the head as I experience a lot of pain when I pull back the foreskin to do this. The cracks -on foreskin-do not seem to be healing. On the contrary, I feel they have increased in number and decreased in individual size.

I've had sex with same partner - my wife - since 15 years. She does not seem to have any problems and for last couple of weeks we've stopped having sex. Do not think this is a STD.

I do have diabetes which is under control through medication and exercise. Fasting & PP counts are normal (both under 105). What can this be?? What do I do?

alcohol does nothing but dry your shin and make it worse.you might have a alergic reaction but see a skin doctor,i would have your wife checked out to ,i'm not insinuating anything but it would be a good idea to have her checked out anyway

mmmmmmmmmmm Never use any thing on your penis or privates.... OUCH!

You need to see your doctor this is not HPV, it could be a bacteria infection and that acohol probably only make it worse. you need a proper diagnosis.
