To start I am a 20 yr old circumcised male and about 3 weeks ago i had unprotected oral sex with a female whos background i know nothing about. Roughly 5 or 6 days later i had a burning sensation in the tip of my penis constantly. It made me feel as if i had to urinate all the time and was very uncomfortable. I noticed a redness around the rim of my penis that seemed to have a stinging sensation at times. Also i had a pressure right above my pubic area which i believe was from being tense and worried about the other problem. I went to the doctor where i was tested for gonorrhea, chlamydia, and had a urine culture done. All came back negative. However, i went away on vacation and it seemed as if a bathing suit i had worn had rubbed me the wrong way in the area that had some redness. Upon examination which i do way too many times to count i saw that when the area of the rim was stretched there were 4 red bumps in a line. The bumps did not have a pimple or blistery appearance - just raised red skin. These bumps have since gone down but are somewhat visible if you look really close. I went to the doctors today and he said that everything looks normal yet i still have a tingling sensation and pressure at times. I have been fearing the worst that this could be herpes and it is driving me crazy. Is this just me being paranoid and obsessing or do you think there could be a problem?

hey man i feel your pain i have the same problem except i have 3 bumps. I heard herpes looks wet all the time on another forum from a guy who had it and it lasts about 3 weeks. Ive had them for about a month and a half so they cant be herpes. the next i thought was like a yeast infection so if you google balanitis it kinda looks simmilar and the symptoms match up but mine havent responded to antifungal cream yet so im very worried and started to think it could be hpv (warts) but the girl i did had been vaccinated for it. also warts never say anything about abdominal pressure or like hurting when you pee. sometimes my thighs burn alittle or itch and ive noticed small pimples next to hair folicles. the only logical thing i can think of right now is yeast infection since my tests came back negative but im going to get tested again

Hey man did you ever figure out what the redness around the rim was? I have the same exact problem.

I have had this problem for years and been to every doctor in the world to no avail. So i did some research myself and found something that has helped me a lot. I learned that it comes from the same thing as a yeast infection. The interesting thing is that the very things I love to eat do affect it a lot. So I cut back on the following food, though I still eat them just watch how much. cut back on cheeses(Mold) mushrooms, sugars, and a lot of dairy. I do still eat these things but in moderation. Here is the kicker I went to the health food store and bought PB8 Pro-Bioric Acidophilus capsules with 14 billion good bacteria or more. This can also be found in natural yogurt but has sugar in it. I have been taking 2 cap each morning a half hour before eating then eat light. After 20 days of taking these caps it has almost completely cleared up after 2 or more years of fighting this problem. It makes sense that it is caused by a mold in your body and this will get rid of it. I believe it recommends to take for at least 60 days. And they must be refrigerated cause it is a live bacteria and will die if not kept cold. Try this and it will change there is hope. I hope this has helped you. Good luck.
