HI
Thank for asking to HCM
It may be a food allergy, penile lesion (allergic) quite common when food contains some kind of sulfur compound garlic is one of them, do one thing stop eating the garlic for some time if it still occurs then it is not the garlic, if it stop, wait for few weeks then start eating garlic again if it happens then the garlic is the cause, have nice day
