Have been suffering with a dry penis head for some time which results in it being mainly red, however i woke up this morning to a rash on the penis head and thighs, what do people think this is!?
Are you a sports person or do a lot of exercise? What you could be getting is a build up of sweat in the area. However, if this does not apply to you, you could have a skin condition. Do you have skin issues elsewhere on the body?
With the head of the penis what most men with these kinds of issues have is an adverse reaction to years of using soap, other body cleansers and perhaps by using skin cream, baby oil and suchlike as lube for masturbation or sex. The skin eventually develops an intolerance to this constant onslaught of chemicals and eventually the skin of the head and foreskin of the penis simply can no longer cope.

What to do: do not use soap or shower gel and stuff like that to clean your penis - use water only and make sure you are 100% dry when you wash your penis by patting it dry with a clean dry towel. What you also need to monitor is to check whether you have sweat in the entire groin area during the day - if you do, this can have a simple cause, such as the clothing you have on regularly is not allowing sweat to escape, or of course, you could have a skin condition (or even the skin condition caused by the regular sweat in the area!).

You could have a combination of things going on: an intolerance of the skin due to soap, etc, and a skin condition. Try using the water only approach for 8 to 10 days, if things worsen anyway, such as the rash keeps developing, you would be best to see a Dermatologist - your Regular / Family Doctor / GP can refer you …
