Inflamed small area on foreskin

Dr,
I have been check for every STD about six months ago.  Clean.  

I noticed right after sex one day recently with my current partner, (I think she was alittle rough with her teeth and hands by accident), that I had a redened area of foreskin.  It's the size of the end of a pencil eraser.  
seems to be a bump or lump in the area, but I think it's part of the skin fold that's inflamed maybe.. I dunno., I have taken photos and posted them on another site.
No pain or blistering
, but I do notice:

Red skin
alittle shiny
some scaling of the skin.
and since has turned pinker,
aggitation makes it red again.

Welcome to the Dermatology Expert Forum! We shall try to help you as much as possible with the information below.

Pinkish, shiny, persistent (not spontaneously resolved) penile papule (bump) with discrete scaling developed after skin trauma (and STD excluded) could be clinical manifestation of several skin diseases, with  Lichen planus on the top of that list followed by Lichen sclerosus, eczema, psoriasis and candidiasis, to name only few.  All of these diseases are manageable, so do not worry but do visit a dermatologist.

Your physician will take medical history, perform detailed skin examination, and perform diagnostic procedures (probably skin cultures and biopsy) to establish final diagnosis.

Wishing You Optimal Health,
Dr Jasmina Jankicevic

some more information: I have started to treat it with Neosporin.

I am curious if this is a STD or is this more likely related to penile injury during sex.  since it has lasted two weeks I'm starting to get alittle scared.  As I said earlier I attempted to interogate the area and have aggitated it a couple of times(dr's advice I know Stop doing that :-) ok will stop ) .  

During sex, I noticed a significant ammount of pain due to her teeth, and she does have a sharp tooth, consistant with where it would meet the red area.  

based on the photos, should I go to a dermatologist to treat this immediately, or wait and see if other symptoms manifest themselves or take a hands off approach and let it heal?

any other advice is welcome.

thank you.
