    hey bro , those pics not uploaded. i dealing with something very similar, although no soreness . it hard to say without pics. ive also read a few times from experts, recently, that there is issue with lads washing their c**k , with pretty much any kind of product, immediately after sex and the friction and minor inflammation /skin irritation that causes. so it could be anything. products, allergy to condoms, some interaction with your gf's bacteria/fungus , sti, hard to say . the soreness could mean something though. but it could be totally innocent bro .

    Brain, John mentions most of the main issues of what you may have going on, or a mixture of several of them potentially.

    With unprotected penetrative sex yeast / fungal or even bacterial infections are the most common cause of skin issues on the head and foreskin of the penis. You do need to upload 2 or 3 photos that clearly show what you have going on for us to get an idea of how to treat it ....

      water is the best thing to use rather than soap directly onto it as many men seen to do that then wonder why there penis is dry and sore most the time its caused by soaps lubricants etc if u use any kind of lubricant make sure its water based its the kindest to the skin dont dry masturbate as that can be another cause if u use soap make sure its ph balanced like baby soap etc other soaps can dry and irritate the skin due to them being quite a high ph same goes for other products like shampoo ans shaving foams

      I do think a lot of this is due to the internet spreading all sorts of disinformation and people googling, reading them, then thinking it's the truth. The amount of times i've read that the foreskin is "dirty", unclean and harbours all sorts of grime and crap is unreal. Usually from Amreican sources mind you, though once some people read this type of guff they take it as a truth and that's when they damage the fragile glans skin with bacterial washes etc...
