std?

[tennisguy957]

i just had sex for my first time. it was unprotected with a girl. i developed small pimples on my groin, and small red dots around my penis the day after we had sex. it is not itchy, scratchy or even burning. i want to know if i should get this checked out or what the deal is. is it an std or a heat rash or what could it be. let me know thanks


This discussion is related to red itchy bumps on legs and in groin region.

Hello,
The bumps appeared the day after you had intercourse and hence the possibility of irritated hair follicles and folliculitis is more rather than any STD. Apply warm compresses, Neosporin ointment and calamine lotion and avoid messing with it. You  can take anti-inflammatory pain killers like ibuprofen or acetaminophen. If the lumps persist then it will be best to get it evaluated from a dermatologist.

It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.

Well , it is a possibility but unlikely.  You may want to get checked out just to be sure.  Oh by the way, to test for certain STD's in male patients, they have to stick a swab up your penis.  Just thought you should know.  I doubt you have a STD as the vast majority of STD's do not show up immediately or in the few days after sex.
