Confused and Worried

About 4 months ago i had unprotected sex with a women. About 4 days later i had the constant urge to urinate, so i went to see a doctor thinking i had an UTI. The doctor immediately dismissed this saying it is rare for men to get UTIs. Soon after this urge to urinate stopped. About 3 weeks after that I went to get a full STI test at another clinic. They took both a blood and urine samples. The tests all came back negative. Since then i have had no clear sings of any STIs. I have noticed that on the head of my penis after I have perspired down there many small cracks appear on my penis head. Along with these cracks, what seem to be perfectly circular rings around the head of my penis also appear. These ring and cracks appear for only a short periods ( few hours - 1day). During these times my penis is slightly sensitive after urination and sexual intercourse. Some days i feel completely normal down there and other days i feel i slight discomfort. I have asked my doctor about the possibility of herpes and he said my symptoms offer no reason to believe i have contracted it. I was wondering if you could shed any new light on what i might be experiencing and whether u think i need to worry about herpes or not?

Drinking never leads to good things. While I was in college about 10 years ago I was drunk every weekend and I think out of the women I had sex with I used a condom one time. I just thank God that I never got an STD from it. I kept drinking after college and made more poor decisions with drunken sex and unprotected.

So I made the decision to stop drinking, it might not be right for some people but it's right for me. I found it better to stop drinking because drinking always leads to bad decisions. Being a man we never think with our brains when drunk.

Thanks Vance, It could be entirely possible that i am just an hypochondriac. As long as there is no physical symptoms i think i can rule herpes out. I figure after 4months i would have had some physical symptoms by now if it were herpes. One thing is for sure though, im never getting drunk and having unprotected sex again. Its not worth the worry. The woman also got tested and she said everything came back negative, so that it also reassuring. If anyone else could offer me some insight into my original post please do so.

I don't know what is going on down there, it might be your head manifesting it's self on your body.
It doesn't sound like herpes either.
STD tests are clear and it sounds like you got them done at the right time.
