I've just recently been having problems with my foreskin area and a little up onto the head of my penis. My sexual activity has been pretty frequent as of recently having a new girlfriend and all. Me and my new girlfriend ALWAYS use codoms and have only had sex twice, both times lasting about half an hour. From what I know she is clean.
I also had a girlfriend about two weeks before who I had sex with at the very end of our relationship without a condom and she just finished her menstruation cycle. She was completely clean and I was the only guy that she had sex with. We had been sexually active for about eight months of the realationship and never had any problems what so ever.
What's going on is basically redness, tension, a burning itching thing going on my foreskin that starts from exactly where my my foreskin covers the head of my penis when none erect to exactly at the line of my the tip of my head shows peeping out of my foreskin. There's flaking and other than that everything is pretty normal with very very minimal swelling, don't know if I could even use that word, but there just seems to be so skin tension and it feels elasticy in the sense it is being stretched. Other than that nothing seems wrong.. It's almost like a band around my penis on the foreskin that folds in.
I'm just worried about it because it is the only kind of problem I've had so far. I guess my questions are..
Is it caused by friction?
The type of condom?
Is this normal or should I be worried about an STI?
Anyone know?
I'm going to the doctor on Monday to check up, but it'd be nice to have some feedback right now, just comforting you know?

Sounds like you may have some kind of contact dermatitis. I don't know if it is due to the latex or additives such as talcum powder in the condom or not. Try some hydrocortisone cream to see if it helps. Probably not something to worry too much about until you see your doctor.
Well I do know the condoms we have been using I have never really used before.
