What are the causes of red rashes on my glans penis?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

It could be balanitis or herpes genitalis. The management can be decided based on the diagnosis. In the case of balanitis, one may apply Miconazole 2 percent cream twice a day. Do you have a history of unprotected sexual intercourse?

I hope this has helped you. Please feel free to reach me again, in case of further queries.

Thank you.

Kind regards.

From your description, it can be balanitis. In that case, you may apply DK gel (Miconazole) 2 % twice a day. Please revert with an image so that the oral medications can be prescribed. Also, it is important to treat the partner to prevent recurrence.

Thank you.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have seen the picture (attachment removed to protect patient identity).

It looks like herpes genitalis. It is a sexually transmitted disease. Is it associated with pain or itching? Please get a blood test done for HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) and VDRL (venereal disease research laboratory). It is important since you have a history of unprotected sexual intercourse.

I suggest you follow these steps:

1. Apply Mupirocin cream twice daily.
2. I suggest taking an oral antiviral medication, such as the tablet Acyclovir 400 mg, three times a day after a meal for seven days.
3. Also, take the tablet Ranitidine 150 mg twice a day before meals for seven days. Please revert with the reports after seven days.

I hope this has helped you.

Please feel free to reach me again, in case of further queries.

Thank you.
