Reddish Rash on the penis Glan

[iespinosa]

Am 16 years old. I had oral sex with my girlfriend 1 week ago and the next day i noticed red spots on my penis glan. My girlfriend is a virgen and i am aswell. This never happen to me. Now it has spread all over the penis glans and some part of my foreskin. I havent put any cream on it. I did masturbate 2 days after and made it worst. I don't think it is Herpes or STDS or anything similar. Is this something i should consult my doctor too?

Hello,
From the symptoms it can be chafing, fungal infection or dermatitis skin. Wash the areas several times with fresh water. Do not use any cosmetic products at the sites. You can apply some calamine lotion at the rash as it will help in soothing the skin. Also wear cotton undergarments. Oral antiinflammatories like ibuprofen/acetaminophen are also helpful. If the symptoms are severe then it will be best to consult a dermatologist.

It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your dermatologist. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
