Can Rash On Head Of Penis Be Sexually Transmitted Infection?
Less then a month ago I noticed a small red dot on the head of my penis. It has grown to a bump that seems to be centered under the skin as well as on top of the skin. It is red and hard. Less then two weeks after the first one appeared another one formed the same way. I would also like to mention that before these bumps developed I had a rash all over my body. It started on my hands and spread to the rest of my skin. After using a clotrimazole and betamethasone dipropionate cream (1%~5%) the rash cleared up on my outer appendages and seemed to concentrate only on my upper legs, pubic region, and butt. Can a rash spread to my penis? Can it be an STI?

hello,
welcome to HCM,
Thanks a lot for the query
rash can do appear on penis too if in case you are having any allergic reaction.
may be they are a fungal infection as a result of moist area in that part.
they can occur due to STD also. but in your case i think that it may not be the case as you were having such features before also.
to be on the safer side do visit a dermatologist
hope you get well soon
