Does Anybody Know What This Is? Red/pink Reoccurring Rash

Hi there. I have had this rash come in and out of my life for several months now. It is on the underside of Penile shaft, connecting to my scrotum. When it flares up it can be very pink and sometimes itch a lot. Lately it hasn’t been itching but still flares up in terms of color. I have been tested for every STD and HIV since it started and haven’t shown any positive results, so I don’t believe it is an STD. What is unusual is that when it goes away, it leaves a whitish/paler mark. When it flares up, it is always in the exact area and never spreads further. I have it only in this specific area. My diet is very clean (have been vegan for over a year), I exercise quite a bit, hygiene is well too. I am not sure at all what it is. It seems to also flare up when I try putting natural oils like coconut, castor oil etc. Also when I wash it with soap. This only happens to the area that the rash occurs in. I could see it being my detergent, but what is so unusual is that it only happens in that area (literally never goes further) and randomly pops up. Lately it hasn’t been going away much and I am super confused and focused on what this is. Please help point out some potential conditions. Thanks! [rash #1 ](Rash) [rash #2 ](

If you suspect your detergent, when the wash is done re-run the 2nd rinse cycle to be sure all detergent is rinsed clean.
This really sounds like an issue to work w/ a dermatologist on.
You might also try some "separation underwear". Keeping your penis separated from your scrotum will either help keep things cooler & dryer, or it will just run & annoy. I'll suggest trying some during a flare-free period & see if you stay flare free longer.
But primarily, talk with a dermatologist. Good Luck.

I’m not medically trained in any way shape or form, but it could be something as simple as a heat rash where your penis lies on top of your balls. Might be worthwhile trying an Un-scented talc after showering to keep yourself dry and see how you go. It’s clearly annoying you though, so definitely check out a dermatologist

The pictures aren't very good, but my money is on a yeast infection/fungal infection. Do yourself a real favor, see a doctor and get a proper diagnosis and treatment, not a shot in the dark guess from an internet web site!

Or, see your primary physician; it might be something simple. Chances are he/she has seen your dick before, so there is no need to be reticent about going. If it is something more involved, you can get a referral to a dermatologist.

I use an ointment called Silka, it contains Terbinafine Hydrochloride Creme at 1%. It is also sold by another name but the same ingredient. I can't remember the other name at this moment but will post it after researching.

It's also marketed under the name LamasilAT. I use it on my upper legs where my scrotum is always in contact against the inside of my legs. I get a redness on my upper legs and scrotal sack where they are in contact all the time. Read the usage instructions. Try that for a couple days to see if it helps. If not see your personal care physician.
I use it twice daily. I need to perhaps wear briefs to keep my scrotum from contacting against my legs. I usually free ball.

I seem to have the exact same thing. Did you ever get to the bottom of it?
