red mark on shaft of penis
by redmark, Jul 21, 2006 12:00AM
I had unprotected oral sex with a girl, and I then had protected vaginal sex with her. About 10 days later, I noticed a red mark on the top of the shaft of my penis and an inch away from my pubic region. The next day the mark was a little bit bigger (pea size, maybe a little smaller). The mark is fairly bright and becomes bright red and sheds skin when I shower. There is no fluid or discharge. There is no burning or itching or any feeling at all with it, but it is visible. I believe the mark was slightly raised from the surrounding skin, but now (5 days later) is it not raised at all, but still pretty red and shed skin in the shower today. I stretched the skin and it is not raised at all, but looks red and irritated.
Does this describe any type of std? I plan on seeing a doctor, but would like to know what your best guess is from the description?
