The skin of the skin of the penis is very sensitive in nature. AS STD's been ruled out as a causative factor? There is also a condition that comes to mind, if the above has been ruled out, called balanitis ( yeast infection) that causes redness, swelling etc. which occurs more often in uncircumcised men.

Reply to Dr AMIT MUNJAL's Post: there is no discharge. where the rash is it is red, and just where the rash is it looks swollen slightly, but none of the rest of the penis is swollen, it is just around the rash. there is no itching, or burning, and it seems to happen right after intercourse

Hi
Considering all the inputs you gave i suspect it to be yeast infection as your wife has this infection

I have found a link in support of this
http://www.netdoctor.co.uk/menshealth/facts/circumcision.htm


Yeast infection (caused by candida or thrush) is equally common in circumcised and uncircumcised men, although circumcised men are less likely to have symptoms with this infection so they are more likely to unknowingly pass on thrush to their sexual partners.
