A genital rash or irritation on the penis can be uncomfortable and worrying, but you’re not alone. Many men in Lagos experience this problem at some point, and the good news is that most cases can be easily treated when the right cause is identified early.
At Mascot Healthcare Clinic, Akoka, Lagos, our experienced clinicians provide confidential and professional evaluation for all forms of genital skin irritation, rashes, and infections.
Common Causes of Rash on the Penis
A rash in the genital area can result from several conditions, including:
- Fungal or yeast infections (Candidiasis) – often causes redness, itching, and white patches.
- Contact dermatitis – reaction to soaps, condoms, lubricants, or detergents.
- Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) such as herpes, genital warts, or syphilis.
- Bacterial infections – may cause painful sores or pus-filled bumps.
- Heat rash or poor hygiene – common in Lagos’ hot weather.
- Skin conditions like eczema or psoriasis.
When to See a Doctor
See a healthcare professional if you notice:
- Persistent redness, itching, or irritation
