Suggest Treatment For Itchy Rashes In The Scrotum
Hi. I have been in a hot climate for 2 months now. Taking doxycycline the whole time as a preventative for malaria. After shaving my scrotum and penis I developed itching in the scrotum and the skin turn red, dry and flaked initially. Skin appeared thin, warm to the touch and irritated. After a few days the red color and itching spread to my penis. Now the tip of my penis (penile ring) is slightly red and a little sore. There are no bumps, no raised skin, no appearance of a typical rash. Just red, warm dry skin that is itchy and irritated. Can you tell me what this is. Also, there is no discharge from the penis

It can be due to fungal infection or allergy for which take some antibiotics like azithral or levoflox along with cetrizine or avil for itching. Use candid-b powder or keto-conazole cream locally over the affected area two times daily. Maintain the hygiene of your private part.
