Hello,
Stevens-Johnson syndrome is characterized by a purple or red rash that appears on the penis, as well as some other parts of the body. The rash can develop into peeling skin and sores.
As the reaction progresses, complications can occur. Stevens-Johnson syndrome requires good care. But do not worry. Physical investigations and symptoms correlation can only diagnose the problem.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
