Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
I am a 22-year-old male with a weight of 178.57 Ibs and a height of six feet. Before a week, I started to have a rash on the head or shaft of the penis. I do not have any itching or burning but I am worried about it. I am living in a monogamous relationship for the past three years and nothing has happened like this before. I got the rashes suddenly. I do not have any changes in my personal life. I do not have changes in urination or ejaculation. There is no burning and I have itchiness around the mark on the shaft. The bumps on the penile head are not itchy but it is sensitive.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I have gone through the attached photo (attachment removed to protect patient identity). It looks like dermatitis. You should consult a dermatologist to perform a swab test. This helps to identify the cause whether it is due to a viral infection or bacterial infection or fungal infection or something else. Please take an appointment with a dermatologist soon. For time being, I will suggest creams to treat the penis.
