What Can I Use To Treat A Rash On My Penis?
Question: I have a rash on my penis what I can use to treated?
Brief Answer:
Possibly tinea infection
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Given the location of rash, the most likely diagnosis is Tinea (fungal infection).
You can apply Lotrisone (betamethasone- clotrimazole) ointment. Lotrisone is a better option for tinea infection than fluconazole. Apply Lotrisone twice daily for 2 weeks.
Keep the area clean and dry.
Wear loose fitting breathable cotton underwear.
Wash thoroughly with mild soap and warm water at least twice daily.
The rash will clear up in 2 weeks.
Hope this answers your question. Please let me know if you need further clarification.

Hi,
You can use Lotrimin AF or Lotrimin ultra. They are both very good antifungal agents. If itching is bothersome, you can use over the counter 1% hydrocortisone cream too.
