why is my penis irritated with no visible rash?
by creole, Aug 17, 2009 10:51PM
About 9 months ago I had unprotected sex, it was also the last time ive had sex. 9 months later I felt my first symptoms after a long 4th of July weekend of sweating, drinking, and lack of rest. The next day I noticed 3 very small white bumps on the shaft of my penis that looked like pimples and popped the same day after taking a shower. No discharge or irritation. The bumps cleared up within a day. The next day I started to feel irritation. It got worse everyday for a week with redness in the same area where the bumps were. I also got inflammation of the urethra and soon the whole genital area was irritated. I also had flu like symptoms for about a week. After the flu like symptoms went away so did the majority of genital irritation, but still irritated in the area where i had the bumps, but all visible symptoms disappeared. I realized it could be an STD but thought it was strange it would have taken so long to show up. So I got rapid checked for all the STDs and a visual check for herpes and warts. Results were negative and the doc said I would know if i had herpes. Said I just had some irritation and penis pimples. Well its been two months now and I have no visible symptoms but am still irritated in the same area. Its a very light irritation at this point but seems to slightly intense with heat, drinking beer, and eating sugar. Sometimes when I soak my penis in tea tree oil it seems so lighten the irritation. Some days I dont feel anything at all. Possibly when Im eating no grains since I think it could be a yeast infection, but could just be coincidence. It also does not hurt to masturbate. but obviously leaves it slightly more irritated.
im still afraid this is an STD, or from reading online could be a yeast infection. but dont know why its happened so late and has been active for so long. Theres nothing visible to distinguish a type of rash or disease. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

Welcome to the forum!
Sweat glands, sebaceous gland, and lymphocele can present like small lumps on the penis which are normal. Red, itchy spots on your penis could be due to an allergy or it may be a non STD bacterial infection. It can also be a STD like trichomonas, gonorrhea, Chlamydia etc (ruled out in your case by STD tests). Yeast infection by candida albicans can cause red itchy bumps on penis. In your case this is the most likely cause as the infection can flare up much later. Also the symptoms come and go or increase and decrease.
I would suggest that you also test for diabetes as heat, beer and eating sugar aggravates the itching. Please consult an urologist.
It is difficult to comment beyond this at this stage. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!
