    Question

    I have an Annoying Red Rash on my penis. It is on the very end of my foreskin and on my penis head. It is red and blotchy in places, mostly around the little slit part. It itches quite a lot, and there is some liquid constantly around the head of my penis under the foreskin. I am not circumcised. PLEASE HELP ME!

    Answer

    Sounds like it may be a yeast infection. Ask the pharmacist for a cream for genital yeast. In the US we would use Lotrimin cream, which is available without a prescription.
