Itchy, Flaky, Reddish, Bleeding Due To Cracking Of Skin In Shaft Of Penis. Spreading Red Rashes In Groin Area. Any Ideas?

Hello, I have been experiencing dry, flaking, irritated skin on the top part of the shaft of my penis and right below the tip. It has been itchy, flaky, reddish color and just recently some cracking of the skin to cause bleeding. Also around the inner groin area i am having problems with a red rash that has spread to my chest. What is it?

Hi,
It seems that you might be having Bellano-prosthitis giving you this problem.
Many a times due to collection of smegma under fore skin may lead to infection producing this type of problem.
Rash in groin might be due to infection spreading to groin lymph nodes.
Clean smegma by averting fore skin of glans.
Make a habit to clean smegma daily while taking bath.
Apply antibiotic cream.
As rash spread to chest go for STD test to rule out STD.
Ok and take care.
