What Causes A Small Red Rash On The Penile Shaft?

Hi, I have a small red rash on the shaft of my penis. It has only come up over the last 2 days but about a week ago there was dry skin there which I peeled off. It kind of looks like a cut. I masterbate sometimes twice a day so not sure if this could be friction. I have had the same partner for the last 4 months

Hi,

According to symptoms it could be dermatitis like skin inflammation. For that I suggest you apply topical steroid cream over affected part. Try to keep penile area clean and dry. Wear loose and clean underwear. If no improvement then consult dermatologist for examination and management.

Hope I have answered your query.
