About two years ago received rash on face and underside of penis, both swelled up, and itched but then disappeared after a day. Never found out the cause for the strange inflammation. However, the rash on underside of penis left a line of loose skin running all the way to the tip, which still occasionally itches. How can I stop the itching and can this be sexually transmitted? Have not been sexually active. Please help, thanks.

 Hello,
Perhaps you have some yeast overgrowth - common in warm, moist, dark areas such as this. If so it can be treated over-the-counter with antifungal ointments. If you are not sexually active it is highly unlikely it could be a sexually transmitted infection. Is this your current situation or were you also celibate at the time of the first inflammation? If you suspect latent infection from a previous exposure, you could have this checked at a STD clinic or with your doctor. Sometimes peace of mind is worth the effort to get there. Without seeing it, I could not give you any more information. Many skin conditions are totally normal variations and nothing to worry about. Chances are this is the case.
Best wishes.
