Hi Kunalmukim,

Thanks for your query.

Rash on penis can be due to many reasons.

It may be Superficial Fungal infection or bacterial infections like Gonorrhoea and Chlamydial infections, also viral infections like Herpes.

You say that it is red and itching is present. Also that itching is severe. Itching is very common in fungal infections.

You definitely need a physical examination of the rash by a doctor, I suggest you visit a doctor at the earliest.

you can take antihistamines like cetrizine temporarily but you have to consult Dermatologist for getting appropriate treatment.

Meanwhile, consume lots of fluids orally and keep passing urine frequently.

Also get a Urine Routine examination done.

Indulge in safe sexual practices like using Condom.

Hope I have answered your query.

I will be available to answer your follow up queries.

Wish you Good Health.

Hi Kunalmukim,

Good to hear from you again.

Sorry, it would be difficult to suggest as the exact cause has to been known.

You can be prescribed appropriate medicine only after physical examination.
So please consult a doctor for complete examination and treatment.

Hope I answered your query.
