What Causes Scaly Skin Along With Red Rash On The Head Of Penis?

I thought I had a std went to the doctor and they told me I had a fungus and gave me clotrimaderm. Since then all the symptoms have gone away penis is clear. But as of a few weeks I have noticed peeling of the forehead. No burning no itching just dry. Also a line about1 inch that s red and not raised

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello and welcome.

The peeling off could be due to the use of the medication. Fungus thrives in damp environments, and the region has to be kept dry and the medication assists in that as well.

It is possible that the region became a bit too dry resulting in the peeling. As long as you do not have any symptoms, do not worry about this as it should all resolve in a few days.

Best wishes.
