Herpes, STD, friction burn, what?

Hello,

I was with my ex-girlfriend from 2007 and she may have had two partners in the past and I had one.  I'm pretty sure I'm clean for STD's and I'm not sure about her, but I know her well enough that she would have told me.

Anyway, she gave me oral sex and then I did anal on her for the first time for both of us.  Keep in mind, this is my first time having sex orally (in 1.5 years) and anally (first ever).  I used a condom and we didn't have lubricant so we used spit.  It was hard to get in, but we finally managed.  After the long night, I noticed for the next few days, that the upper head of my penis was bright red, looking almost like it could have been a burn or that I may have contracted some sort of STD.  It's been 3 days now and the red seems to have subsided a tiny bit, but not by a lot.

When I go to the bathroom, it doesn't burn when I urinate, nor do I feel the need to go to the bathroom every 2 seconds.  Also, my urine looks fine as well.

I'm just wondering.  What does everyone think of this?  Do you think I could have gotten something or is probably just a fraction burn?

Well if you treat for jock itch you will get the answer if it goes away with treatment.  Urologist is the wrong person to see for an issue with the skin.  They are a plumber doctor.  You need a dermatologist at this point.  When you scratch it breaks the skin and causes it to burn.  Again sweat irriates cuts because it has salt.

I haven't, Grace.  I didn't really want to try and do anything with it until I saw the urologist and he doesn't even really know what it is, but just an irritation is his guess.  I didn't want to start medicating it without knowing what it is ya know?

It burned at one point last night too under the testes.  It's just so weird.  Don't mean to be gross, but I masturbated this morning too and the same thing happened, as soon as I was done, the head looked even more blotchy red while the rest was whitish.  It's just a huge blotchy rash all over the glans.  So weird.

Welcome to the club of being a guy.  Our "testes" sweat like any other part of our body to cool them down.  Why do you think they hang lower when it is hotter outside?  It is because they get away from the heat of the body... Yet when they are cold they get close to us.  

Sweat causes them to dry and drying can cause itchy and also you could have a fungal infection which will make you itch.  My groin is red and itchy too. Been that way for 4 months now.  :-)  Be seen by your provider for further work up and if they need to they can give you some medicine for it.

I'm not doubting Grace in the least.  She's been very helpful-I'm just still worried if this herpes or not as I sit at a bball game and the bottom of my testes are slightly tingling and it itches a but in groin area-and it's still blotchy red
