Possible genital herpes or yeast infection?

Hello community, it is me again. I posted here in 2012, asking if i had genital herpes. At that point in my life, nothing ever came up positive. But now I have a new circumstance. Anyway, so I started a new relationship with someone and I did have protected oral sex with her however I did notice something on my genitals. So about last week I noticed patches of white skin underneath my foreskin when I pulled my penis down. I went to my student health clinic, and they tested me for chlamydia, syphilis, gonorrhea, and did a swap culture to see if it was herpes. Anyway, the tests all came back negative. The Physician Assistant told me to put some anti fungal cream to see if it would go away. A few days later, some of it did go away, but yesterday I noticed the patches came back. I also felt a little ill on monday, though since tuesday I feel fine. My symptoms, besides the patches of white skin are as follows, it doesn't hurt to pee, but sometimes it does feel a little uncomfortable. I'm scheduled to see the physician assistant tomorrow to get a referral to see a dermatologist. Would this be the next logical step? Thanks in advance!

Hi and welcome back. Since you used a condom for the oral then any penis irritations would not be related to this including herpes. They would have to come in contact with lips to an unprotected genital area with some rubbing to force the virus into the nerve.
Most topical irritations like you mention are fungal related or even a male yeast infection from a change in your skins Ph either from  some foriegn matter or even the condom lube.

By the way, now it looks as though it spread to the head of my penis. Can anyone please provide me with some clarity? I believe Grace answered my questions a while back.
