Dear Sir
From the description given its highly unlikely to be std. It is likely to be Balanitis which is inflammation of glans tip. Exact diagnosis will depend on clinical examination.
It would be very helpful if you could provide me with clinical photograph for further assessment.
Awaiting your response
Take care
