Hello
Thanks for your query,based on the facts that you have posted it appears that you have developed red patches and swelling of foreskin and glans after unprotected sex .

This is most likely to be due to infection of foreskin and glans (Ballano-Posthatitis).However in view of having unprotected sex possibility of STD has to be ruled out.

Please get basic screening test for STD done to be rest assured about free from acquiring STD.

You need to take broad spectrum antibiotic like Cefexine along with anti inflammatory drug like Diclofenac twice daily.along with topical antibiotic ointment like Neosporin twice daily.

Ensure to wash your genitals with warm water twice daily

Ensure to avoid sexual encounters till it heals up completely.
