Hi,
Based on the symptoms you have described, you may have contracted a sexually transmitted infection (STI) during your encounter.
Redness on the head of the penis is a common symptom of STIs such as
herpes and
syphilis, although it is important to note that other conditions can also cause similar symptoms.
It is recommended that you visit a healthcare provider for testing and treatment as soon as possible. STIs can be easily transmitted and can cause serious health complications if left untreated. Testing typically involves a physical exam, swabbing the affected area, or taking a blood sample.
It is important to remember that not all STIs cause immediate symptoms, and some may take several days or weeks to appear. Practicing
safe sex, including using condoms and getting regular STI testing, can help to reduce the risk of contracting and transmitting STIs.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Priyanka, General & Family Physician
