Herpes vs. Psorasis

Herpes vs. Psorasis

Hi,

I have a question: I'm trying to figure out what I have.

About a month ago, a man gave me oral sex; about two weeks ago I gave a different man (brief about two minutes) unprotected anal sex.

Then, about six days ago, after about 15 minutes of vaginal intercourse with a woman, I noticed some discomfort.  I noticed two slightly raised, shiny red "spots" or plaques about 1/4" around on the bottom of the glans (glands) of the penis.  There was also some very slight irritation and redness on the shaft of the penis.

They are not painful, they do not itch, they have not turned into blisters, there is no pain urinating and I otherwise feel fine--no fever, no flu-like or other symptoms.  Since then, they have slowly receded.

I visited my local STD clinic, and they said it probably was not Herpes but tests to confirm this would take ten days.

I have psoriatic arthritis but never have had an outbreak on my penis.

Does anyone have any thoughts as to what this might be?

You already went to be seen and have started the testing process. If you don't get answers from what testing you've had done so far, follow up with a dermatologist for better answers.
