Tingle, Red Marks & Abdominal Pains

by Popeye123, Apr 21, 2008 09:50AM
6 months ago i was diagnosed with Chlamydia and took the treatment and what not. However, when i started having sex again after i finished my course i noticed that I started developing red marks under the head of my penis and a tingling sensation began. I stopped having sex with that partner and the sensation and marks seemed to disppear even though i was still masturbating. I also went back to the same clinic that tested me and they said that because i had taken the antibiotics there was no need to worry. However, I had sex yesterday morning and the night before and have now noticed two small similar red marks and the same tingling sensation plus abdominal pains (almost as if they've been strained). The red marks have calmed down slightly but the tingle certainly hasnt. Im tempted to go and get tested because i did not use a condom, but both of us are clean.

I read somewhere that similar symptoms occur when your illergic to something or because its just down to friction.

any ideas? my brains freaking out!

cheers,

Hi there -

You might have a fungal infection, or an allergy to something you are using during or after sex.  Think about what you use to clean up - soap, a towel, washcloth, tissue, etc.  Perhaps you are allergic to something there.

Perhaps you have just strained your ab muscles during sex.

And if you are concerned about being re-infected, you should test again.  You can't really know that someone doesn't have something unless they were tested and didn't have any partners since testing.

And condoms really do work to prevent std transmission, or at least dramatically reduce the chances.

Hiya!

Thanks for the response!

fungal infection? what does that entail? can it be cured?!!

by auntiejessi, Apr 21, 2008 10:43AM
LOL yes, sorry.  A fungal infection is caused by a fungus.  Jock itch is a fungal infection, so is yeast.

I would get it checked before I used anything, but most fungal infections can be cured with over the counter medications.

haha sorry the reason i ask is because if it is a fungal infection then it seems to be reoccuring, hence why i ask if this can be completely cured or only treated...

cheers

bump!

Fungal infections can be hard to get rid of.  You should see your doc and ask if you need a prescription-strength cream.

And there's no reason to bump.  Everyone who answers these questions does it on their own time, and I can promise you we will get to it when we can.
