Noticed A Red Rash With Itchiness On The Foreskin
Red rash on foreskin. I am a 70 year old male, post graduate degree trained,no longer sexually active, have never had ant STD, been married to same woman forever, and have good hygiene. I have a red rash on the foreskin, on about the first 1/2 inch. It's mildly irritating (itch), non-weepy. Any ideas?

Hello
Thanks for your query,based on the facts that you have posted it appears that you have red rash and itching of foreskin.
This could be mostly due to Diabetes.
Many a times itching of the foreskin is a first presenting symptom of diabetes.
Please get your blood sugar level test done to confirm /rule out the same,
Thanks
