Rash On Penis, Red, Inflamed, Itching. What Could It Be?
Hi, so I have been with my boyfriend for 4 months now I have been faithful. However, he recently developed a rash on the underside of his penis and front side of his balls. the rash is REALLY red and looks inflamed there was also a couple bumps. I also notice two bumps on the front side of his penis that looked different from the ones on the underside. the ones on front look kinda like little cuts the ones on the underside. I can t tell if that s just part of the penis or from the rash. It also itches. He thinks I have cheated which I have not. So any light you could give as to what it could be would be appreciated. I also had a yeast infection about a month ago I don t know if it s related.

Hello
Thank you for getting in touch with us. As I see, you are worried about the rashes on your partner's penis. This could be anything ranging from a sexually transmitted disease to a normal rash.It would be tough for us to confirm the diagnosis without examining the rash. It would be best if your partner gets in touch with a Doctor (Dermatologist and Venereologist) and gets it examined. Your Doctor might ask you to go for a few laboratory tests to confirm the diagnosis. We would also recommend you to avoid or use proper protection while indulging in sexual intercourse as you might contract the disease from your partner (if he's having it). Hope this helps
Regards
Dr. Gagandeep Dhillon
