Men’s Yeast Infection or something else?
Hi!
This is my first post on these forums. As you can tell by my name, I am a bit of a worrier. A few months ago I had unprotected sexual interfourse with a girl I was seeing. She had thrush and I ended up with the infection myself. I was given some cream to treat the problem and it went away.
I should say that in between these partners I was treated for genital warts. I had one wart around 6 weeks ago, which was treated and I had another appointment a week after to confirm I was safe to have sex agains.
I am now with a new partner and we had sex 4 days ago. We use condoms however there was a lot of unprotected genital contact before this. I’m not sure if it’s relevant, but she often gets UTI’s after sex. Since then I have developed a few red “blotches” on my penis head, and one on my retracted forskin (internal side). I put this down instantly to another yeast infection. The reason it concerns me and the reason for this post is that there is a slight white ring around some of the blotches, almost like a ulcer. I can provide pictures if required (and allowed).
I wondered if anyone had any ideas if this was normal or not. Is this just a yeast infection? I have started to use the cream I was given.
Any advice or information is useful, ! Thank you.

I should also add that I have no other symptoms. No itching, burning or discharge.
