About almost a month ago I had unprotected oral sex. I got tested for chlamydia, gonorrhea, HIV and came back negative. But 2 weeks after I noticed a red spot/mark on my foreskin; to the left side of my penis. It doesn't hurt at all, I don't feel anything when I touch it either. Also it becomes more apparent when I masturbate or when I shower. I am concerned it could be HPV or herpes. It could also just be irritation or friction after masturbation. Please help... I'm worried.

    Hi,

    Seems that unprotected oral has the answer to the situation. I, as well as many other people here has the exact same situation. Red rash that comes and go, seems to flare up when exposed to heat or friction. Tested negative for all STD's, but positive for HSV1.

    Been to two Urologists and one GP, the one Urologist said herpes, the other said no to herpes, the GP said no to herpes.

    But the rash started 4 weeks after unprotected oral.

    Maybe you should get the HSV test done asap.

      Thank you, I appreciate your response. But does your rash hurt at all? and yours seem to be like dots all over your penis glans. Mine is just like a big red spot. And doesn't hsv look like little bubbles? Mine doesn't look like that. I'm confused..

    Hi,

    No pain, no discharge, no itching. I am also very confused, as I had no vesicles, no crusts no chanres.

    Mine sometimes has the spots, sometimes a reddish streak, sometimes a bigger red rash. image

    As per the picture, taken after shower.

      I think yours could be candidiasis (if it is something); that's what yours resembles to the most or it could be balanitis. Hopefully you figured it out man and it's nothing 😃 I'll keep updating here too.
