Reddish Spots On The Penis After Unprotected Sex. No Itching. Yeast Infection Or STD? Tried Monistat
3 days ago i had unprotected sex. Stupid mistake i know. The next day i woke up and found 2 red spots on the head of the penis . The next day i found the head of my penis even redder! i looked it up and researched for hours and came into the conclusion it might be a yeast infection which is rare but.. i am currently takin minocycline for my acne and it is known that anti bacteria pills will make a male more prone to this infection. Also this red rash on the head of the penis is not itchy, not painful and is flat only bright red. Therefore i applied monistat last night. And tomorrow i have my doctors appointment. Any advice to sleep well tonight?

hello
Thanks for query .
Developing res rash on the glans penis after unprotected sex is mostly due to infection of glans penis (Ballanitis) .
In view of it being a unprotected sex the possibility of acquiring STD has to be ruled out by doing basic screening test for STD .
You need to take broad spectrum antibiotic like Cefotaxime 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.
