Hi

I understand your concern regarding your skin problem and I hope I am able to help you in the same.
I would like to have a look at the exact skin condition .
Please click some close up pictures of the affected area and upload them here on this page .
I have seen your earlier pictures and the skin rash does not look very bothersome or abything related to a std to me .
Kindly provide latest pictures and please tell details about what all are you applying over the penile region .Any antiseptic,any creams or oil?
Is there itching or pain ?
Is the rash constant or did it heal and then re appeared?

I am sure I will be able to help you better once you provide me the pictures along with the above details.

Brief Answer:
Looks like an allergic skin response

Detailed Answer:
Hi again

I have seen the attached pictures.
You surely have a rash at the head of penis.
It appears to me like a circular area of irritated skin .Such a rash over the genitals could be suggestive of a fixed dry eruption.
Most importantly,it does not look like any std. So don't worry, kindly provide me certain details so that we can reach a definite diagnosis .

Please tell if you are taking any oral drugs like antibiotics, pain killers or any cough syrups or drugs for upset abdomen or any supplements ?

Brief Answer:
Take treatment ,follow up

Detailed Answer:
Hi again

Thanks for the information.
The possibilities that I am considering in your case are either a fixed drug eruption due to Tylenol or an auto immune process .
Now taking into account the first possibility, you need to totally stop the intake of Tylenol for at least two weeks .
Start application of cortisol cream over the affected area twice daily .
Take tablet Claritin once daily for five daily .
Follow up after a week.
I do expect to see improvement ,else we will go on the lines of an autoimmune work up.

autoimune ???

Answered by Dr. Geetika Paul (8 minutes later)
Brief Answer:
Take treatment

Detailed Answer:
Autoimmune diseases in this area basically covers various skin conditions like lichen planus, psoriasis, erythroplakia etc etc .
These are basically non infective chronic conditions which mostly require a skin biopsy from the affected area due confirmation and require long term treatment as well .
But for the time being ,these conditions are not the first thing that we need to be worried about .
Start treatment on the advised lines ,I do expect to see improvement .
