Red opening of penis.

Hello, I posted on here about a month and a half ago about some concernes after an episode of oral sex. I received the oral sex around 2 months ago. Since then I have visited 3 doctors. All three have told me I have no symtoms really that are concerning. I have had some tests done, HIV, chlamydia, gonorrhea, Syphillis and one more which I can't remember - all negative. All three doctors have told me my penile area looks normal. However, about a week ago I developed a cold. I'm very phlegmy, but the concerning thing is there are a series of painless spots the same colour of my tounge towards the back of my tounge. The most concerning thing is for me, really since the first week after receiving the oral sex the tip of my penis has been abit red. From time to time I have experianced a mild burning feeling down there, but when I told my doctor this she informed it's likely to be physiological. The last doctor said she thought I may have thrush, and so gave me a pill for it, but today the tip of my penis looks very red, probably more red than usual, I should also add there is some mild redness on my penis and on the skin near the top of my penis... I'm a very obsessive person, and I can't help but be terrified of Herpes... Could it be Herpes? If not what could it be?

this doesn't sound at all like herpes going on.

how often are you examining your penis? if it's more than once a day, cut back - it's not worth obsessively looking at things.

everything you describe is "mild". you've seen providers who don't really see anything going on.  perhaps it's time to believe them?

bumps on the back of the tongue are probably just something normal you are paying too close of attention to.

really sorry to keep on posting before a reply! I meant to also add they look similar to circumvallate papillae... but I'm pretty sure they were not there before I got a cold (which was about a week and a half ago, which is also when i first noticed the bumps)

Sorry Grace another question I meant to ask was, what do you think the bumps on the back of my touneg could be? Are they a normal sign of illness? or is it hard for you to say without seeing them?

irritation or even a fungal infection that didn't completely respond to the medication you were given previously are the 2 most likely causes.

Ok thank you very much! What do you think this continuous redness could be though?
