pain in penile tip

sd_
Hi Doctors,

I have pain in the penile tip. I actually had sex with some un-known guest in office (sheer stupidity, not the point here though) and I used condom. Couple of days later, I had sex with my regular girlfriend and this was the first time I used a condom with her since she was on pills for 2 years and recently stopped. Another mistake - I used a condom lying in my car's glove box for almost 2.5 years (remember well since last bought condoms only around then). Durex Latex condoms.

Next day onwards, I have a burning (not too sever but easily felt and round the clock) on around the tip of penis. And slight tickling on and off in genitals, rectum, and around the scrotum. It's not itching but tickling and more I think about all over the body. No visible redness, sores etc around penis.

I am not sure whether it is some STD from that unknown or old condom from car is doing this ? It's 8 days now and I am planning to go for a STD test including Chlamydia, Gonorrhea, Syphilis etc next week which would be roughly around 16-18 days after exposure.

Any advice or symptoms I should be looking for ? I am reading that HSV can not be tested unless it's a real outbreak and I am restless if there can be some way to figure out what's going on.

Thanks again Jessy, will wait to see what Grace says, hope am in right forum for her opinion.

Meanwhile I also got a small pimple and little redness on the penis yesterday and applied a cream called Soframycin and that went a little better.

"Soframycin Ointment contain the active ingredient framycetin sulphate, which is a type of medicine called an aminoglycoside antibiotic. Antibiotics are used to treat infections caused by bacteria."

Hey, I wouldn't worry about your anal discomfort being something related to an anal STD.

As for herpes I am not well versed in it, and I'll make sure Grace sees this post;.. in the past I've made a couple wrong responses about herpes, so I won't say anything now.

Thanks for comforting comments Jessy, will update thread on how test goes.

Just precautionary I just started Azithromycin on my own, going to take it for 2-4 days, 500mg 1 dose daily ..... and to make matter worse, the original problem of burning penis stayed, from this afternoon - anal burning has also started.it's all bearable but strong enough to make it's occurrence felt ...... having some irritable bowl movements as well ...

I also learned from my friends, that the person I had sex with have been sleeping around with a lot of folks, don't know if that's true .....

I am kind of feeling now that an expired condom wouldn't impact anal area so probably i have caught up something ........ or it's all in the mind that's playing up ..

I am thinking of going to a planned parenthood center here in Texas sooner now  .....

Can it be test ? Is there any real herpes test before any obvious sores or blisters come ?

Hi

You were never exposed to chlamydia/gonorrhea/ngu from the exposure you describe that can cause penile tip pain.    You mentioned that maybe the  "old condom from car is doing this ?"
I would probably think the same thing.  

Make sure you also test for NGU,  whatever you have its not from having sex with your office companion nor your girlfriend.
