Why do I get recurrent red rashes on the penis?

Question

Hello doctor,

I am having red rashes on the bare skin of my penis. I used Candid Total and it disappeared completely. Again after seven days, it appeared on the right and left side of the penis. I continued using it and then got advice from one of my friends for using Surfaz sn along with DOXT-SL 100 which I am using it for the last seven days. The patches are getting orange-type color. Sometimes the foreskin of the penis burns while urinating. No pain, no difficulty in urinating, sometimes itching is there on the forehead of the skin. Please advise.

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I saw your pictures (attachment removed to protect patient identity). What I can see is shiny red patches on the glans penis. Your concern may be Zoon's balanitis. Kindly consult your doctor to discuss the suggestion and take the treatment with consent.

Start using Tacroz 0.03 % (Tacrolimus) ointment once daily in the morning after washing with Cetaphil cleanser. Do not use any soap for cleaning the genital area. Use it for one week if there is no change it is advisable for a physical examination with a dermatologist nearby you for confirmation of diagnosis. If there is change with Tacroz ointment, continue it for three weeks and then discard it and report me after three weeks.

No, stop taking DOXT-SL (Doxycycline) 100 mg. It will not work.

Thank you.
