Rash after sex

[prime803]

I had protected sex and when i woke up in the morning at had to red rashes each on either side of the base of the penis that itched.  My first response was it's probably an allergic reaction and later in the day those areas slowly became tender to touch.  A few days later the itching went away, but it was still very tender and red.  Now a week later the tenderness and redness is still there and there's a slight burning sensation at the rash.  I don't think it's an STD since 8 hours is to soon for anything to manifest.

Sounds like the same thing that I wrote about two posts earlier.  My rash isn't itchy or tender, however, but it is exactly as you described in the same time period after sex.  Perhaps an allergic reaction to the type of lubricant in the condom?

It just sounds like irritation, with residual redness that will go away if you leave it alone, not an STD.  I'd ignore it.

Best.

Could be a yeast infection. It's not an STD
