A few days ago I noticed these red spots on the head and under the foreskin of my penis (uncircumcised). The first day there were very few spots (roughly .5 mm to 1.5 mm in diameter), and no itching. The next day they had spread. Having antibiotic ointment handy (but no cortisone) I applied topical antibiotics to the head of my penis on the second day. I have used this antibiotic many times before, and am sure I do not react to it. By the third day the spots covered most of the head of my penis as well as most of the underside of the foreskin. They began to itch quite terribly today (3rd day) so I purchased hydrocortisone and antifungal cream (tolnaftate). In addition to the itch, I noticed a significant swelling and tenderness of the foreskin when I applied the cortisone and tolnaftate.
I'm in a steady relationship with an individual I can be sure has no STDs, as I was clear of STDs before this, I'm about 99.9% sure it's not an STD. Both my girlfriend and I are quite thorough about cleanliness. We do not use condoms as she is on the pill (and we are both 100% sure we were clear of STDs before the relationship began).
Two days after I first noticed the spots, my girlfriend noticed that her vaginal area was sore, with redness. I also noticed that she seemed slightly dryer during intercourse.
After researching this, my guess was fungal, it seemed to fit the symptoms. Any recommendations?
PS. My girlfriend tells me she got a mouth ulcer yesterday, seeming to suggest bacterial infection. Yet this doesn't seem to fit with the other symptoms. We have both also been suffering mild cold-like symptoms. While I figure these symptoms may very likely be related, is it likely they are results of the same underlying cause?
