Hi,
Penis has sensitive skin. Avoid using hand sanitizer on penis as it contains alcohol and may irritate the sensitive skin of penis and can result in redness and soreness. It will not affect in having children. If you want to clean your penis, wash it with water and mild soap solution.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
