Hi David, 
Thank you for asking the question. 
There are various causes of rash on the penis. your age is between 25-35, you are sexually active, various sexually transmitted diseases must be ruled out it this case. If it comes out to be a sexually transmitted disease, it will need a specific treatment, if the rash is not due to a sexually transmitted disease and there is some other cause, then too there are various topical preparations available that can help. 
 
I will suggest you, visit a dermatologist, allow him to run some test to rule out sexually transmitted diseases, once they are ruled out, it will be easy to treat this rash/lesion and avoid complications, as a long-standing lesion must not be ignored, discomfort indicates that something is not right.
