Only over the past 3 days out of the blue i have had red spotty rash like area on the head of my penis. I know it not a std as I have only been with one partner vise versa. I wondered if it could be some sort of heat or friction rash and whether to leave it for a couple of days or see my gp
I would keep a possibility of candidal balanitis, which can present as reddish, small papules. There is associated itching. However, itching is subjective.
f I was the treating doctor I would have asked you to apply a moderately potent topical steroid+antifungal combination cream (clotrimazole+beclomethasone cream), twice daily for a few days.
You should clean the area with just plain water and avoid using soaps, antiseptics etc in that area.
Avoid sexual contact with your partner for a week.

What Is The Cause Of Red Spots On Head Of Penis?
Hello and welcome to healthcaremagic I would keep a possibility of candidal balanitis, which can present as reddish, small papules. There is associated itching. However, itching is subjective. f I was the treating doctor I would have asked you to apply a moderately potent topical steroid+antifungal combination cream (clotrimazole+beclomethasone cream), twice daily for a few days. You should clean the area with just plain water and avoid using soaps, antiseptics etc in that area. Avoid sexual contact with your partner for a week. If your partner complains of vaginal discharge or vulval pruritus, treat her as well. Regards
