Penis Rash: What if a Doctor Can't Help? Redness, soreness, itching. When these symptoms of a penis rash strike, a doctor's office is often the best place to go to get help. After all, doctors have access to various medications and creams that average people can't just buy at the grocery store. By seeing an expert, men can make sure they get the help they need in order to solve the problem at hand. But what happens when a visit to the doctor doesn't make a penis rash better? Are men doomed to live with the pain forever? Not likely. They may simply need to take some special penis care steps in order to see real relief. Why It Might Not Help Most men who go to the doctor for a penis rash see a general practitioner. These are the medical professionals who can handle a variety of medical complaints that could occur anywhere on a man's body. In general, they provide excellent advice. Some penis rashes, however, are complicated. A general practitioner in a quick appointment might do a few routine tests, send a man home with a cream and feel reasonably sure that the rash will go away. But if that cream isn't right for the rash’s trigger, the problem will persist. That's when a different doctor that specializes in rashes might be helpful. Dermatologists have advanced training in skin inflammation, meaning that they might order different kinds of tests when they're shown a penis rash. A dermatologist might also be able to provide tests that can help a man become aware of any allergies he may have, so he can avoid triggers (and more rashes) in the future. What Happens Next In addition to getting advice from the right kind of doctor, men with penis rashes that won't heal should look closely at their day-to-day habits. Specifically, they should pay attention to the directions they got from their doctors, and make sure they're following those instructions to the letter. Common mistakes involve:  Cleansing. Are they washing too often or too little?
