Hi and welcome to XXXXXXX Thank you for your query.
this is common and you shouldnt be worried. It is caused by salt water and rubbing penis head against swimming clothes. Also ,while urinating this irritation is more probable because urethral opening is more opened then. Very rarely some infectious disease may cause such rash bit if this persists more than 5 days, it should be considered. Wish you good health. Regards
you should just clean salt and apply some mild neutral cream if you have. It will pass in 2 days.
