What Causes A Red Rash On The Glans Penis?

My foreskin appears to be sticky with glans. Two years back I developed mild red rash on glans. It erupted with itchiness and disappears after soaking in hot water and using clotrimazole. Once it appeared on shaft also. Today I noticed a tiny red spot on glans. I masturbated in the morning. Noticed red spot after noon. There is no itch. Why does it happen.

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
What red spots you are mentioning to be appearing on the glans penis frequently could be due to allergic skin reaction.
Kindly do the following to overcome it.
1. Clean the area with mild antiseptic solution like Savlon twice daily.
2. Take Tablet. Levocetirizine once a day to control itching and to reduce allergic reaction.
3. Apply Neomycin with Hydrocortisone cream over the lesions twice daily after drying.
4. Wear loose fitting undergarments and clothes so as to avoid friction and provide ventilation in the area.
5. Abstain from sexual activities till the lesions heal completely.
Maintain good personal hygiene. The lesion should subside gradually.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
