It could be a fungal infection. Don't stress out. Consult a dermatologist.
If you are worried about STDs, then get yourself tested. That is the only way to kill this fear and anxiety.
Relax!

yes burning sensation is one of the symptoms of a fungal infection. If you are not yet planning to see a doctor, you may try applying some antifungal cream like Clotrimazole 1% after washing your penis with a mild soap and patting it dry.
As long as you don't have any serious symptoms like body aches, rashes or high fever etc you shouldn't be worrying about STDs.
But it is always good to get tested for reassurance.
