Jock itch, supportive care , antifungals.
Detailed Answer:
Thank you for asking
I read your question and i understand your concern. Red non raised rash in thigh area spread to penis is likely a jock itch and will need antifungal creams along with hydrocortisone creams for better relief. Good hygiene measures, abstinence from coitus or masturbation for a while, wearing loose undergarments and keeping the groin hair and sweat free will help. Talk to a dermatologist and let them have a look and manage accordingly if the rash persists for more than a week or keep spreading.
I hope it helps. Take good care of yourself and dont forget to close the discussion please.
