Has anyone had this? caught from receiving oral sex?
what were you symptoms? how did you go about testing? have you cured it and if so how long did it take and what antibiotics did you use?

hey wes, think i con contribute to this. so i've been struggling for several years now with a recurrent balanithis which causes redness and irritation on my glans that comes and goes (it comes specially after shower and when erected). some little itching and burning sensation but very subtle. the thing is that last year i had unprotected sex with one of my sexual partner and she caught an infection by mycoplasma/ureaplasma (both of them). i couldnt believe it! urologist have always told me that my balanitis was a skin issue rather than an infection. So came back to the uro and again, he dismissed the possibility. i took some antibiotics and got tested by myco/ureaplasma through an urine test (prior to antibiotics treatment). results came back negative so i was very confused. the antibiotics finally did NOT helped with the balanitis so i do not know what the f**k is going on. however, the most "succesful" treatment i've ever had was from a dermatologist this year who treated as a skin infection with topical mupirocin (antibiotic) + aquaphor ointment. this can get the rash dissapear for a couple of days but then will come back even worse. my point here, is that im convinced that my balanitis is something bacterial related (it does not respond to antifungal treatment but to topical antibiotics), maybe related to mycoplasma? i really dont know. what has been your experience?

Thanks for the input.
Almost a year ago i received unprotected oral and ever since ive had red blotchy glans, worse erect and after showering. Ive had some other issue with loose stools , need to pee more, red itchy scrotum and rash type thing.
Ive had full tests but not hsv (apart from
urine) as nothing to swab. I came back positive for ureaplasma using an online company but told the GP and they wont test or treat and disregarded as the majority of people have traces of this.
Im seeing a urologist this week. No idea what it is? part of me cant let go of the hsv idea but there is always a persistant symptom? and not standard stymptoms, also ureaplasma is a consideration but again my symptoms dont completly match it. Ive got no idea? do you have any other symptoms? or just the rash?

I would say that for the initial 3 years the only syptom was the rash and a subtle discomfort down there. in the last year however it became difficult to retract my foreskin, which was subsided with mupirocin and aquaphor. i also had a biopsy done, which came back with "non specific alterations". im starting to think this is will not go away with nothing, but i still want to try some antibiotic treatment.

ive got so many i dont know what to think it is. I just want an answer, but so many chat groups on here with no definitive result. Hopefully the urologist i see will gibe me some antibiotics and im sorted, but doubtful. Hope is the inly thing that keeps me going though to be fair.
