Bumpy Glands Penis when erect
I have had two unprotected sexual encounters. Vaginal with one sex worker only 4 strokes before using a condom but full cuni lingus unprotected and unprotected oral sex falaceo with another female sex worker with the second sex worker I had full vaginal sex however always using a condom. I now have a bumpy glands penis. The Urethra is sore especially after ejaculation. I feel a pinching pain on the penis head which makes me want to urinate often. When I'm erect the head of the penis is very bumpy and uneven although the skin looks normal. When slightly flaccid if I squeeze the shaft upward to inflate the head I can see lots of small red dots. On close examination they seem to be blood vessels which culminate in a mass of blood vessels causing the red dots. I also have an red bump on the edge of the corona above the skin. Around the meatus the bumps seem to be skin coloured and not associated with blood vessels. When flaccid the Glands Penis seems normal with no obvious bumps. If I shine a light on it I can see numerous red splotches where the bumps would be when erect.
History: I had oral thrush four weeks after the first encounter which was corrected with an anti oral fungal and I also used a genital anti fungal Econazole Mylan. I was also put on Ciprofloxacin 500mg for 10 days because I complained of a pain in my Penis and a persistent sore throat but no fever or headaches. Immediately after the first encounter I had a very bad cold that lasted for one day and was contracted by my co workers. The sore throat was a result of this cold and lasted about four weeks until I took the Ciprofloxacin. I have been tested for STDs including a Swab test of the Urethra, two urine samples and two blood tests. I have been tested for Gonorrhoea, HIV, Hepatitis & Chlamydia. I'm not sure which others were tested, all tests came back negative.
I can supply photos if it would help. I have done lots research and cannot find anything that looks the same as my symptoms.

If you have a swab taken, it might help to identify the cause of the problem. However you could try an antibiotic cream like Bactroban or Fucidin, which are prescription-only in the UK. Having said all this, it might not be an infection at all as it could be a dermatological problem.
Looking at photos on the internet is not usually very helpful. The right thing to do for you is to see a specialist in the filed whoc can examine you and give you further advice.

Thank you for your feedback.
I have seen my primary physician since but he didn't really know what the cause was and has referred me on to a GU Doctor. He thought it is a fungus but I think he was just guessing. Unfortunately I will not be able to make that appointment so will go to a local GU clinic in the coming week. So far I have used Econazole Mylan (Flacon) for a week with no obvious effect. I was just given Diprosone 0.05% (Dipropionate de batamethasone microsise) a cream which seems to have made the problem worse. I seem to have more tiny 0.5mm high blood blisters on the corona of my penis and the same but below the skin evenly spaced over my Glands penis where nerves or blood vessels join each other. There is now a dull ache at the opening of my urethra but little or no redness.
I do suffer from Eczema and have since childhood. The effected areas are on my legs and torso around my underwear line. Possibly I am also suffering from Scabies as I've had this problem before and the symptoms on my legs and torso are very similar. Itching at night and around the places where my clothes bands touch my body. I did put some of the Diprosone around this area and it seems much better.
It is important to point out that I only noticed the problem with my glands penis beginning 2 days after the second encounter could it be caused by something carried in the throat and if so what? Possibly a parasite or something.
1) What brand of anti-biotic ointment. Would you suggest using and is this prescription only or can you buy it over the counter.
2) What is causing the small red blisters on the corona? Like tiny blood blisters. Have you seen this before and will they go away when the underlying cause goes?
3) Would pictures help? I do have some pictures, two posted in the private section of my profile. If it would help I can make them public if you cannot see them otherwise.
Thank you in advance.

Hello,
Thank you very much for your post and apologies for not having replied sooner.
It is difiicult to give you an answer about diagnosis with examining you and if your symptoms perist, my advice to you is to consult with the doctor.
From your description of the symptoms, they seem consistent with balanitis. The cause of balanitis could be fungal, but also bacterial, and sometimes mixed, but it can also be casued by a skin problem. If the antifungal cream helped, that would confirm that the cause is fungal; if not, you might want to try using an anbiotic ointment.
In any case, you might need to get a swab of the area where you have the symptoms to try to elicit the exact cause of your problem.
Best wishes,
Dr José
