I’ve had these spots for two weeks now. I’m not sure if they’re just normal lesions from oral sex or is it an std symptom.. they are sore, they hurt a little when touched or if the skin around it gets tugged.. please help and thanks in advance..

    I'd try an antifungal cream such as Daktarin or Canesten for a few days. If no improvement, see a doctor or sexual health practitioner.

    Could just be friction damage and/or balanitis, maybe two lymphoceles, but personally, I'd see a doctor to get checked out.  You could either see your GP, or if you're in the UK, you could go to a genitourinary medicine (GUM) clinic - google "GUM clinic near me" for details.If you do see a doctor, then if you could update this thread and tell us what the doctors say, it would be appreciated.  Good luck.

    It's it's just balanitis, these links may help:

    Washing (with water, no soap) daily, and taking a leak and washing after masturbation or sex will probably help, and you could also try Canesten cream or Daktarin cream.  Loose fitting cotton underwear may help, and some sites recommend washing underwear with non-biological washing powder or liquid.
