A member asked:

I have a rash on the shaft of my penis and it won't go away. my urologist said it was a fungal infection. they gave me cream but it didn't work. ?

Many possibilities.: If anti-fungal treatment didn't work, it probably is not a fungal infection. There are many other possibilities, including allergy to a cream or condom material, psoriasis, or a superficial infection. Try over-the-counter Hydrocortisone cream - if no response to that either, you'll need to see a dermatologist.
