What causes rashes on thighs and shaft of penis?
human
A week ago I noticed a small rash on my right thigh. It itched like crazy for about two days, and then stopped. The rash stayed there, but no more itching sensation. Then a couple days ago, two more small rashes appeared. One on my left thigh and the other on the shaft of my penis. The rashes are only the size of a pinky nail. I m pretty nervous, and have searched all over the web terrified I have some sort of std. Please help

Hello and welcome to health care magic. Rashes in genitals associated with itching is most probably due to fungal infections. My advice is to visit a Skin specialist and let him have a look at your symptoms. He will give antifungal ointments like Clotrimazole and antihistamines like fexofenadine to reduce the itching. You have to wash all your undergarments in boiling water and have to iron them. That's because these fungus deposit their spores in whatever clothes that touch them and will produce a reinfection after 2 weeks. Hope this discussion will be helpful to you. Thank you.
