The doctor's response was: It is hard to make a diagnosis without more information about your medical history. However, if you are not experiencing any other worrying symptoms (fever, spreading rash, rash on other parts of the body, muscle or joint pain), you can wait a few more days and take care to clean the glans without scrubbing or using harsh soap. If after two days the rash is still present but has decreased, you can try using Canesten cream, which can be found at a pharmacy. This cream may help to heal balanitis if it is caused by a fungal infection, which is possible even if you have been in a stable relationship for several years.
