I did something rather silly 16 days or so ago. I had unprotected sex with a girl that I don't know from a bar of soap. She is 20 years old. Initially we used condoms (without much joy) I believe I had some serious coordination problems with it at some point and might have done some injury to myself.
However the next day I found my penis was a little sore and my right testicle felt like it had been through a meat grinder! Probably about 4-5 days after it happened, I noticed that my penis was getting sorer by the day. About 8 days later, I was in quite a bit of pain and I examined myself carefully and found there was a rash on the right hand-side just under the glans that backed onto my foreskin. It looked like I had taken a triangular slice of skin from it!(very angular looking).
I let it go for another day, but the symptoms worsened. So the next day(being a public holiday) I went to the local medical center. The doctor checked it out and said that it was a normal rash and prescribed some topical cortisone cream. Naturally I was concerned that it was an STD of some kind, so she tested me for Chlaymdia (came back negative). I will get more tests done in a week
The cream seemed to work ok for a couple of days, but as soon as I stopped using it, the rash(about half the size of a dime - very small) would flare up and I would be intense pain (from the penis through to the testicles). The pain was so intense actually this Saturday gone by, that I had to take pain killers so I could get some sleep!
I also saw my local GP today and he had a gander at it. He said it was contact dermatitus there could be issues with bacteria/fungus in the area due to the location(under the foreskin). He prescribed a combo Cortisone cream AND broad spectrum anti-fungal cream. So far so good..
I have also had some really strange symptoms over the last few weeks. Shooting pains down my right leg, pain in my right testicle, occasional shooting pains in my penis and occasional tingles in legs etc. These symptoms generally come and go and are not continous.
1. Could the shooting pains, occasional tingles etc be caused by the nature of the rash? Cortisone cream? or something else?
2. How long does a typical rash underneath the foreskin take to repair? (mild to severe rash). I have had this for over 2 weeks now, and I am not seeing much of an improvement.
3. I don't believe this girl has any STD's, I spoke to her and she reckons she's clean as a whistle and says she knows all of her partners. Is there a small chance than any kind of STD could make this rash behave in such a fasion? or would you surmise that it is more likely a bacterial / fungal issue causing it to flare up?
4. I also notice, that everytime I shower(2x a day - I always carefully clean the foreskin) the pain disappears for a while and the angry red colour fades somewhat for a little while. However after a few hours, the pain comes back, any ideas? (Bacteria having a party and inviting their friends?
