Suggest Cause And Solution For Rash On Penis
My partner has recently developed a tender rash on his penis. We last had sex 3 weeks ago and I have had no issues. Today, we had sex again and he was in agony. His penis was hot to the touch and very red under the tip of his penis. I have been on Nuvaring for 5 months but am wondering if it's possible he's having a reaction to it now?

Hello
This sounds like balanitis--a yeast infection of the penis. He needs a prescription for ketoconazole cream to resolve it
