Hello,
Commonly rash on penis occurs due to fungus (candidiasis) in uncircumcised penis. Your partner can take anti-fungal medicines (fluconazole) orally & apply Clotrimazole ointment topically for relieve. He should take care of his hygiene, wear loose fitting cotton clothes.
However, it can also be due to sexually transmitted diseases such as dermatitis, syphilis, genital herpes, etc. He is suggested to get clinically examined by a GP & get STD tests done to stay on the safer side. Do not indulge with multiple partners & perform safe sex.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
