Does this sound like Herpes...Balanitis...Yeast? - Sexually Transmitted Diseases Message Board

Hi,
Ok...long story short.
I attended a... ahem.. 'party' at the beginning of august. Had sex with 5 or 6 women but always with protection. However, the oral sex was without a condom.

Around 3 weeks later i had some red blotches on the head of my penis. I have had a yeast infection before and i passed it off as that and used a cream.

It seemed to gradually clear up but the glans head of my penis at varying times seemed to have what i can only describe as lots and lots of tiny red pimples all over the head no larger than a ball point pen head (nothing on shaft or scrotum) that seemed to sometimes be there and sometimes not.

Just recently i have had this combined with the red blotches/spots again.

It is itchy on and off, but i've not had any burning sensations or discharge and the red spots/blotches don't seem to blister.

I should also add that during the last few months i've had a bad time(which i wont go into) and during this time my personal hygiene has not been what it should.

Any ideas?

My husband kind of has the same thing.... he has little red blotches on the skin around his pelvis. He says that it itches on and off. He had jock itch a while ago while he was overseas and the doc gave him a cream. Well, he didn't use all of the cream because he thought it was fully gone. Well, it came back (whatever it is). I'm starting to itch a little, too. However, he doesn't have those tiny red bumps on his head.

I suggest getting it checked out. you can find a Planned Parenthood location around you... they will help.

Hopefully we can find out what this is!

It sounds like a fungal infection; try Clotrimazole cream, it can be purchased over the counter with out a prescription. If it clears it, continue to use it for a couple of days after.
