STD? or something else

Can someone please take a look at my pictures in my profile, i am freaking out that i have chlamydia or gonorrhea.  The meatus is red and on one side appears to be inflamed.  After an erection,  thten whhen i become flacid, the head on my penis and foreskin get dry skin and peel.  I have not had any discharge or burning while urinating.  The meatus has been red for months and also my scrotum has been red for months.  I get pain on the left side of my scrotum on and off.  Also, throughout this time i have a constant churning and growling in my stomach.  Does chlamydia or gonorrhea cause stomach issues? The encounter that i am referring to was last august and protected.  Would symptoms of chlamydia or gonorrhea stay around for this long.  I noticed the inflamation of my meatus around november the same with the redness in my scrotum.  Also my meatus has been sensitive on and off through the months.  It will be sensitive for a couple days then stop.  then a couple weeks later start again.  The same with the dry skin after erection.  What could be causing this as I have not had a chance to get tested yet because of work.  Can someone please help.  I know protected sex is safe sex but in the back of my mind I cant get these symptoms out of my head and the possibility of an std.

3 weeks ago my gf had itchiness and burning while urinating. She went to dr and was diagnosed with uti after urine test. She took medicine then about a week later the itchiness returned and she still had burning while urinating. She wet to dr and he said it was yeast infection. She took a pill and the symptoms were still there along now with low stomach cramps. She went back to dr and took another urine test and this time it was clear I guess that's y they ruled it a yeast infection.  My questions are would it be possible for her to have these symptoms many months later if it was due to an std. I have never felt any burning or had any discharge. The only symptoms I had were described earlier.  I will note that we don't use protection cause she is on birth control but she missed a couple days and I used a condom on two separate times and after the second time is when she first noticed symptoms. Now I still have redness around meatus. Does my gf symptoms sound related to any type of std?

She didnt have one and wanted to proceed anyway.  I had to go and get one.  So you dont recomend testing at all?

No, I see no reason. I am sure she would have wanted you to wear a condom also. They use condoms to protect themselves form you.

Do the other symptoms sound std related such as inflamed meatus. red scrotum, testicle pain?  As i have read those are symtpoms related to chlamydia or gonorrhea

Pics have been taken down, we don't look at pics.

Peeling on your finger...has nothing to do with a STD.

See a Dr this does not sound like a STD.
