Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you are having symptoms of skin irritation and dark discoloration around penis, it seems to be due to fungal infection, improper hygiene and due to allergic reaction in that area. Need not to worry. Wash the area with cold water thoroughly. You should mild antiseptic solution like Savlon and you should apply topical hydrocortisone cream on the lesions. You should take tablet Levocetrizine once a day to overcome itching. I would suggest you to abstain from sexual activities till the lesions heal completely. You should take oral antifungal medicine like Fluconazole.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
