Penis redness

Hello.

I'm a 21 year old male.

I had sex with my partner and i started to feel some itch and burning on my penis the next day.

It's been 2 days so far, i'll describe the prob.

It was all red and itching, it looked sore (my foreskin and the tip of my penis, but only the parts when i pull down my foreskin) Later that evening i discovered that my foreskin and the tip of my penis was covered with white looking THIN plaque. That white stuff peeled off the next day. It doesn't itch anymore but it is still sensitive. The parts that were covered with that white stuff are now red and shiny. (I do not have any bumps, the skin is like that, it's red like a sunburn)

Please help, i'm really scared.

thank you

That's great. I know it had to be scary for you. It must have been the new condoms that caused the redness. Now you know not to use that brand again, just stay with your usual brand and use one every time. Take care. Remar

Have either of you ever had issues with condoms before, like a latex allergy perhaps? My mom is remar and she's right, you guys need to get tested. I compare a vagina to an aquarium in the sense that the PH can be knocked off balance by virtually anything. It is a delicate part of the system. A penis if not indestructible either, things can and will irritate it at times. People carry all kinds of dormant viruses and sometimes the combination of two people sets things off to flare up. Unless you both have full body condoms on you expose each other to what the other may have. Condoms lessen the risk significantly and although they are mandatory in my opinion, most people touch and exchange each others stuff somewhere along the line in a relationship. Hopefully it's just irritation due to the condom itself or the lubrication on the condom. Don't take any chances though, both of you need to get tested. It could be a bacterial infection, not deadly, but not fun at all and you will pass it back and forth if both are not treated simultaneously.

Yes, you are very red. Did you and your girlfriend use a new lubrication, condoms or something like that? Is your girlfriend having any symptoms? The best thing to do is see your Dr. I wish I could tell you what's going on but I'm not sure.  Remar
