Brief Answer:
may be due to an allergic reaction.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

I can understand your concern.
Here is my advice.

As per your history, it may be due to an allergic reaction. Allergy may be due to latex which is used in condoms or any irritant substance.

Please let me know do you have itching, discharge through the penis, fever, sores over private part? Kindly follow up with a detailed history.

In that case, you may require detailed medical examination and evaluation by a physician for proper diagnosis and treatment.

For the allergic rash, you can use over the counter medication like hydrocortisone ointment.

Along with that maintain proper hygiene of private parts. Avoid allergens or irritant substances.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Thank you.

Regards,
