Unprotected Oral and What I Did Afterwards
This past Thursday I had unprotected oral sex with an escort. She preformed fellatio on me till I ejaculated. After the act, the reality of what I did sunk in. I got home 20-30 minutes later and in a panic I used rubbing alcohol on my penis thinking that would help. I realized what a mistake that was after the burning sensation. I quickly washed with an antibacterial soap.
It's Sunday now, and I feel a burning sensation but there is no discharge. The burning sensation comes and goes and I feel it near the tip of my penis. As well as when I urinate, it stings near the tip as well. As you can tell, I'm freaked out by what I did. I can't tell if the burning sensation is coming from the rubbing alcohol I used or if i got an STD. Did the alcohol or antibacterial soap make matters worst?
I just need some peace of mind. Any advice is much appreciated.

Thanks for all the help. I looked at different sites and the information out there is extremely confusing. Guess I let paranoia get the better of me. This is a great site to help give people the peace of mind they need.

OK, almost certainly you are only feeling the effects of the soap and/or alcohol. The OTC remedies you suggest will make no difference; such things can help prevent non-sexually acquired urinary tract infections in women and might make symptoms milder in women with UTI, but they have no curative effects at all. Anyway, the problem is obviously clearing up. If you're still having discomfort a week after the exposure, see a health care provider.
Don't wig out over oral sex. It is very safe in general and unlikely to result in any infection at all. But if you remain nervous about even that slight possibility, in the future use a condom.

Thanks for the quick response. The symptoms happen within hours. Fellatio was performed around 1:30AM. I used the alcohol and antibacterial soap around 2:00AM. Burning sensation when I urinated first thing in the morning. Around 7:00AM. It has gotten better where I feel a tingly sensation like a skin irritation. If it's because of my carelessness in trying to clean myself afterwards, are there any over the counter medicines that I can use? Will drinking green tea or cranberry juice reduce the risk of infections?

Welcome to the forum. I'll try to help.
Your realization "the reality of what I did" was somewhat misplaced. You assumed a high STD risk when in fact oral sex is inherently low risk for all STDs -- not completely risk free, but much safer than unprotected vaginal or anal sex. And the statistical chance your escort partner had an STD, especially one involving her mouth, is qutie low. And as you may have found, your attempts at prevention were too aggressive.
The soap and alcohol certainly could cause penile irritation and burning, including stinging at the penile tip with urination. That symptoms is typical of irritation of the urethral opening by soap, and the alcohol also could contribute.
However, I'm not clear on the timing. If that symptom began immediately after the alcohol and soap, that's probably the explanation. However, if you were symptom free for a 2-3 days before the stinging began, then I am more concerned about the possibility of an infection acquired by oral exposure. The possibilities include gonorrhea and nongonococcal urethrtis (NGU), perhaps caused by normal oral bacteria, by adenovirus (a cold virus that can easily infect the urethra), or even herpes.
If your symptoms were delayed, it would be best to see a health care provider for direct evaluation. If the stinging was immediate, it probably is safe to wait a few days and see if they clear up. Regardless of the timing of onset, if he stinging continues or if you remain nervous, see a health care provider for personal examination and possible testing.
