Suggest Treatment For Persistent Red Rashes On Penile Head
Hi have a red rash on penis head . I got prescribed hydrocortisone and it clears up after a week but then comes back a couple of weeks later.. I have been to the clinic and tested. They said it doesn t look like thrush and provided me with that cream which clears it. The doctor always say thrush and no thrush cream works . Any ideas what it could be? Maybe eczema or psoriasis?
