It appears to be a red rash right below the head of the penis that is only at the top not completely around the penis. when the penis is erect the rash is completely visible; when the penis is flacid the area is covered by the for skin. when touched it has a burning feel. There is no blistering or bleeding. I have had prostate cancer about 7 years ago and I'm completely cured. I was thinking it is Balanitis. I still have sex so I don't want rule out a yeast infection. It could be an allergy to certain soap. I've been using CK Body Wash which was a gift from xmas. Stopped using it temporarily to see if the redness will go away. I urinate with no problem. Maybe I need a anti bacterial cream. this has being going on for about 10 days. Let me know if you have other question. In areas you missed.
