Whats is it??? Should I be concerned

Ive had this burning sensation between my shaft and my testicles and theres a small part on my lower shaft thats a lil dryer that most.

i dont have any discharge... i only do after i masterbate and there will be some clear stuff coming out for the nest 5-10 mins after i masterbate.

theres a lil bump right below wear the head is by my shaft but theres no puss or drying up or hurting feeling at all.

What would the drying up skin by shaft and the sometimes buring sensation be????  And is it normal to have more discharge after u masterbate???  Thats small lil bump.. should i be concerned?

i just got tested for stds early may and seemed like it all came out negative but i just recently had sex last week as well so im a lil concerned.  i feel embarassed to walk in my doctors office again after just as month to get tested again.

THANK U SO MUCH

No STD causes th sort of burning sensation or skin 'drying' that you describe.  You probably have a fungal infection (jock itch) or some other garden-variety skin condition.  Try keeping the area clean with soap and water, and perhaps try an over the counter antifungal cream, such as Lamisil; you will find such products on the same shelves as products for athlete's foot.

Clear mucus from the penis is normal after sexual arousal or ejaculation.  It has nothing to do with your skin problem.

If cleaning and the antifungal cream don't clear up your skin symptoms, see a health care provider.  There is nothing to be embarrassed about.
