Could my diabetes, underactive thyroid, weight loss, or medications?including Metformin, Eltroxin, aspirin, Mecobalamin, and Autrin?be causing the redness and rashes on my penis on days I do not exercise, even when my blood sugar level is 140 to 150 mg/dL after lunch?
The redness and rash you are experiencing are likely not directly caused by your medications like Metformin, Eltroxin, aspirin, Mecobalamin, or Autrin. However, diabetes?even with stable blood sugars around 140?150 mg/dL?can make you more prone to localized fungal infections (like thrush), which thrive on sugar and moisture. Underactive thyroid and weight loss can also temporarily affect your skin's natural barrier. I gently encourage you to keep the area clean and dry, and consult your doctor. They can easily identify the cause and provide a soothing, effective treatment to help you feel comfortable again.
