Just a Rash?

I have a reddish pink coloration on the right side of my penile shaft and a small red/pinkish patch on the right tip of the penis as well. At first I thought I simply chaffed it in a bathing suite, but it has not gotten any better in 3 weeks. I then caught scabies from my roommate and thought / still think it may be scabies, but I used the cream and the pill 3 days ago and it has not gotten any better. What is really weird is that it has only recently began to slightly itch. the rash is not raised or crusted at all just discolored. Any thoughts?

haha. I actually contracted scabies. And I think STD b/c it's been a few weeks and has not gone away. Also it's location might steer me that way.

follow up with your doctor or dermatologist.

why do you think every rash has to be scabies or a std?
