Good afternoon all,
This seems like a good site for info I have searched everywhere,and read a lot of similar stories.
Thank you in advance for any info advise you have for me.
I have a strange feeling under my foreskin/penis glans.
It's been a few weeks now and nothing seems to work.
I've been to the doctors,and she gave me some cream which hasn't helped much,when I asked about an sti she did not feel I had one considering lack of symptoms.
It all started after unprotected oral sex from a woman(not my wife),there were some on top of the clothes stuff and I felt I did get some kind of 'rug burn' on my penis.
No sex,though my bare penis did rub on her knickers (cause of the burn) before I came (not in her mouth) we were probably heavy petting kissing for a few hours.
I did have sex with my wife the next evening and the very next day my skin on my penis started to peel,it looked whitish like smegma.
After this had healed a couple of days later, I started to feel this tingling/burning sensation,it is not painful just annoying.
My partner told me last week that she had thrush,so we both took canesten duo.
For her the symptoms went away,but I still have the weird tingling/burning sensation.
I would like to add that It's been 3 weeks now,I've had no discharge of any kind or pain while urinating or ejaculating,I've masterbated twice since.
It seemed to aggrivate my penis making it red and inflamed.
It's always better in the morning after I've showered and I don't feel anything,like it's normal again.
I have been using hydrocortisone and canesten cream together,twice daily,but nothing seems to work.
My questions are:
1.does this sound like an sti?
2.how much of a risk is oral sex(no mouth sores)
3.if this is balanitis/thrush how long until it goes?
4.can anxiety exacerbate symptoms making them feel worse than they are?(I worry a lot)
5.do symptoms come up within 24 hours.
6.Does it more sound like an irritation?
Thanks everyone
It feels like I'm going crazy with worry,I am going to get tested next week in a walk in centre for peace of mind.
I can't be the only with some of the stories I've heard.
