Hello,
Thanks for your query.

I appreciate your efforts for medical consultation in so much distress.

Important aspects of your query are:
•     27 year old male
•     Total duration of problem 4-5 months.
•     Complaints of: rashes inside my Penis edge in sequence/line with itching.

I Would like to know few more things which would help me in suggesting you better:

1.) Have you had a sexual encounter with a stranger before onset of problem?
2.) Do you have burning sensation while passing urine?
3.) Do you have any swelling in groin area?
4.) Is the frequency of urination increased?

From your history following are possibilities which need to rule out in your case:
-Pimples or ingrown hairs or Penile papules. These are common and they're nothing to worry about. But causing symptom because of dettol induced dermatitis.
-Gonococcal Urethritis
-Syphilis with secondary infection
-Tinea

Hence get yourself examined by a Dermatologist so that your Doctor may examine you and order few tests like:
-VDRL
-Complete Blood Work
-Urinalysis
-Culture of secretion from that area

To rule out the exact cause for your symptoms. Once confirmed, the treatment will depend upon the cause which includes a course of antibiotics. Till that time do not use Dettol. You can wash area with soap water. For itching you can use Tab Cetrizine 10 mg once a day.

Follow these lifestyle changes,

1.) Practice safe sex, if you had a sexual encounter with a stranger.
2.) Drink plenty of water.
3.) Eat healthy nutritious balanced diet which should include fresh fruits and XXXXXXX leafy vegetables.

I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you. In case of any doubt, I will be available for follow ups.

Wish you good health.
