    Skin rash
    HI,

    Im 27 yr old male. I was tested for everything under the sun ( STD' etc). I have noticed a small red rash at the bottom, head, of my penis. Its very small rash... It only stands out after sex, or masturbation. Its not bumpy or aything, pretty smooth. It look like irriated piece of skin (red). I have been putting dabs o rubbing alcohol on it for a few days to try an dry out a possible infection. And again, if left alone, its hard to see it, it blends in... Very confused as to what it is. Any thoughts??

    Any derms's out there?

    Rubbing alcohol! OMG!! Isn't that painful... Stop it already!

    Could it be from the heat? Maybe because of briefs not boxers?

    Rubbing alcohol will not get rid of an infection.

    Its doesn't itch, and the alcohol on it doesn't hurt. I thought it would dry it out, no? I'm guessing its from rubbing on my briefs? I have no clue, just curious... Need a derm to answer this...

    Since I can't see it, and can't test it, I cannot prescribe anything other than trying to wear boxers and see if that helps.
