Catching STD from Massage Table Towel

I go to a licensed therapeutic massage parlor occasionally. I strip naked and get get a full body oil massage, no touching or sex of any kind.

Last week when I laid down on my back naked on the table, I realized that the towel cover of the table was warm and wet, particularly around my penis cap area (maybe from a previous use). I got the massage as usual. Today, after 4 days, the skin of my penis cap, around the openings has inflammation and is a bit red (as if it is a mosquito bite or if it is rubbed against a hard surface). I am really worried about it as it never has happened to me before.

Please let me know if there is a chance of STDs? If not, what it could be and what would be the remedy?

Thanks

Hi,
I don't think it was happy ending for the previous client, as I as never offered one over there. Still, it could be the semen, pre-*** from the previous client, if they forgot to change the table sheets.
What is the probability of catching STD this way?

Real massage therapists don't give happy endings.  they also change the sheets on the tables between clients.  

Whatever is going on isn't a std from the massage table.  really sounds like the begining of a fungal infection or just general irritation going on.  follow up on it with your provider as needed.
