applying nothing
Brief Answer:
Looks like an allergic skin response
Detailed Answer:
Hi again
I have seen the attached pictures.
You surely have a rash at the head of penis.
It appears to me like a circular area of irritated skin .Such a rash over the genitals could be suggestive of a fixed dry eruption.
Most importantly,it does not look like any std. So don't worry, kindly provide me certain details so that we can reach a definite diagnosis .
Please tell if you are taking any oral drugs like antibiotics, pain killers or any cough syrups or drugs for upset abdomen or any supplements ?

nothing tylenol for headache and lower back as needed msy a couple a day at most
Brief Answer:
Take treatment ,follow up
Detailed Answer:
Hi again
Thanks for the information.
The possibilities that I am considering in your case are either a fixed drug eruption due to Tylenol or an auto immune process .
Now taking into account the first possibility, you need to totally stop the intake of Tylenol for at least two weeks .
Start application of cortisol cream over the affected area twice daily .
Take tablet Claritin once daily for five daily .
Follow up after a week.
I do expect to see improvement ,else we will go on the lines of an autoimmune work up.

autoimune ???
Brief Answer:
Take treatment
Detailed Answer:
Autoimmune diseases in this area basically covers various skin conditions like lichen planus, psoriasis, erythroplakia etc etc .
These are basically non infective chronic conditions which mostly require a skin biopsy from the affected area due confirmation and require long term treatment as well .
But for the time being ,these conditions are not the first thing that we need to be worried about .
Start treatment on the advised lines ,I do expect to see improvement .
