Burning/itching sensation
I had protected vaginal sex and unprotected oral sex with a friend's co-worker a little over a week ago. About 2 days after, my penis skin began to have a burning/itching sensation that seemed to be worse while seated. It felt like a razor burn on the bottom of my shaft near my hairline. No redness, no sores. It is relieved when I stand (maybe because the skin is not in close contact?).
Additionally, I had some discomfort at my urethral opening, but no pain while I peed or any discharge.
I purchased hydrocortisone 1% and applied it 2 days in a row to the shaft of my penis and the pain has decreased.
I have had similar symptoms in the past when I have used condoms that were bought by the girls I have had sex with. I saw a MD at at clinic for these incidences, and they have never found anything. All test came back negative. These symptoms tend to go away after about 5 - 7 days. I know I'm not allergic to latex because I wear latex gloves everyday at work...
Could I have an allergy to spermicide that is used to lubricate the condoms?
Is it possible I may have contracted herpes? I don't have any sores. My lymph nodes aren't swollen.
I am really at a loss and would really appreciate any advice!!!

Herpes spreads by oral, vaginal and anal sex.
Herpes sores blister, then burst, scab and heal.
STIs are the most common cause of genital sores.
Millions of people are diagnosed with STDs in the U.S. each year.
STDs can't be transmitted by casual contact, like hugging or touching.
Syphilis is an STD that is transmitted by oral, genital and anal sex.
yes you could be allergic to spermicides but once again, the pain would be continuous.
best you can do is be seen and get this looked at again.
