What Could Be The Reason For Having A Rash On The Head Of My Penis?

Hello and thanks. I have what looks like a rash on the head of my penis and down a little on the foreskin . There has never been any pain or itchiness. What could that be? My girl did have a bladder sling put in and then had a snip of the tie off creating a sharp edge in her that will sometimes cut me. Any thoughts?

Hello!

Thank you for the query.

Its hard to give exact answer not being able to see it. Such rash usually indicates some kind of local infection. Usually fungal infection appears in this location but other type of infection are also possible.
I suggest you to visit dermatologist. In case of fungal infection, antifungal agent will be necessary. If you have also burning while urinating, urine analysis should be done.

In a meanwhile try to keep affected area clean and dry.

Hope this will help.
Regards.
