What Does A Red Rash On The Penis Indicate?

I have a red rash on the head of my penis. Does not burn or itch just almost looks like a cherry red rash like peeled skin. Not painful. But when I ejaculate there s a shooting pain from the inside that runs down underneath my scrotum area. Please help

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello dear
I understand your concern
Your symptoms could be due to fungal infection, balanitis.
Poor hygiene, chemical cosmetics and overuse are the risk factor.
Clinical examination by the primary care physician is must for the diagnosis.
Doctor will give following advises:
Apply man 1 man oil
Apply candid cream
Change to a simple, unperfumed soap
Put two handfuls of salt in the bath, but no other additives
Showering after a workout, changing underwear, using a clean towel to dry off with and not redressing until the area is completely dry.
Maintain proper hygiene
Hope this may help you
