I am a 19 year old male. I have had protected sex 3 times and have received unprotected oral sex three times within the last month and a half. I have had various symptoms in the last few weeks that are bothering me.
First of all, in the last 3 weeks I have moved onto campus at college, which I have heard may contribute to many of my symptoms... I frequent the gym to work out and my room is rather dry as I live in new england and we leave the windows open during the night...
First I started to get a little bit of redness on the head of my penis about the size of a dime. Nothing painful or anything, just looked like iritation from maybe running or working out.. It went away after a few days and I thought nothing of it until it came back a few later.. Never blistered or pussed, one day it was kinda a little flaky like dry skin but nothing like major...
I went to my doctor to see if there was anything he could tell me.. He didnt think it was anything so I went home.. A few days later, after urinating, I felt a little discomfort and had a clear sticky discharge come out. Nothing painful or discolored or anything... I have had this happen about twice after bowel movements or urination, but the last few have been clear with little white specs in them..
Went to the doctor again, got tested for Chlamydia and Gonnoria, and both were negative.. I was really freaking out about herpes, although my doctor said that the redness looked nothing like herpes...of course the symptoms are never really the same in everyone which is annoying... To ease my mind, as he could not conduct a test on the spot because there was no puss or anything, he prescribed me a ten-day supply of valtrex, which he instructed me to take for the time, and if the redness suddenly got better drastically, then maybe I might need to be concerned..
Well it got about 90% better after 3 days of usage, which didnt make me feel so great... I have had a few discharges since then, totalling five probably.. BUT now Im about 7 days into the pills and the redness is coming back....
Due to the various crappy resources online and the similar nature of all std and other problem symptoms, I still am bothered by this... Im curious if this is just due to working out, being in a new environment, ect... Like possible a male yeast infection? or a UTI, or something like that? Anything that you could tell me would be great as I;m sick of paying $20 to see my doc!!
