Hello. Thank you for choosing DoctorSpring.com.
Your consult has been reviewed and due to its specific nature, we have requested for a Dermatologist's opinion. Hence we have upgraded your consult FREE to a 35$ specialist consult. As a result there might be further delay as the MD will need to review your case.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
Wish you good health! Thank you. In-house Physician, The DoctorSpring Team.

Hello

Thanks for posting your query.

You seem to have contact dermatitis on the penis. It could be due to an allergy to an irritant.

I would recommend application of cortisone cream mixed with mupirocin cream twice a day for a week.

That should help resolve the allergy.

In case it doesn't start improving within a week, it will be best to see your dermatologist for a prescription for a higher strength steroid cream like mometasone.

Please let me know if you have any queries.

Take care
