Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX,
Thanks for writing in to us.
I have read through your query in detail.
Please find my observations below.
1. Cortizone 10 cream contains hydrocortisone which is a steroid. It treats several skin conditions which are mild inflammatory. It will be nice to know what exact rash you are having and since when it has appeared and a picture to know if it requires specific treatment with anti fungal or antibacterial creams. However, you can still apply cortizone cream and watch for 15 days and if not improving then consult a dermatologist.
2. You should clean your penis with warm water and then wipe it dry. Then apply small amount of cortizone 10 cream. This is to be done twice daily.
3. The rashes if XXXXXXX to mild skin condition or allergy then should improve in 15 days otherwise please consult the dermatologist to confirm the skin condition and give specific treatment.
Hope this answers your question. Please feel free to correct any oversight in my interpretation of your problems and discuss them in detail as per your requirements.
Hope your query is answered.
Do write back if you have any doubts.
