Noticed Redness On Penis Tip After Unprotected Oral Sex. Not Cured By Antibiotic Cream. STD?

Posted on Tue, 26 Mar 2013

Question: Hi, my name is XXXXXXX I'm a 30 year, XXXXXXX male. For the past 2 weeks, my tip of my penis seems to be irritated. It's red and sometimes it chafes while in my underwear. There is no discharge or painful irritation. My primary care doctor thought the irritation was caused by some sort of yeast and prescribed an antibiotic cream. But she told me not to apply it directly to the tip of the penis or it would become more irritated. It's still red and irritated at times. Is this normal? About a month ago I did receive unprotected oral sex for maybe 5 mins. No sores or lesions were present on the person's mouth. And I don't see any sores in my genital area. Should I get an STD test? Also, the antibiotic cream that was prescribed is called Clotrimazole and Betamethasone Dipropionate Cream.

Hello,

Thanks for your query.

Based on the facts that you have posted it appears that you may have acquired an infection of the glans penis due to unprotected oral sex. Though your partner had no visible lesion on his lips or in the mouth, the possibility of you getting STD can not be ruled out.

So get your blood tests for STD done.

You can discuss with your antibiotic prescribed such as augmentin and topical antibiotic ointment like Neosporin for local application over Glans of the penis. You should feel better in a few weeks with the help of antibiotics.

Hope I have answered your query.
Please feel free to ask if you have any more questions I shall be happy to help you.

Regards
