Rash on Penis After Sex

Hi,

After potential sex (not sure if I did have sex or just rubbing as was very drunk), I woke up with a red rash on left side of glans and correspondingly below on inner foreskin (am not circumcised) as well as red spots/bumps on glans.  The rash became worse as day progressed and more or less the entire glans and foreskin were covered in a large red splotchy rash with red bumps/spots on the glans.

I applied antifungal cream overnight and the rash seems to be less but still there in the same manner.  Only now, it has more or less reverted back to the left side as it was in the very beginning.

Could this be a fungal thing (e.g. balanitis) or more likely friction/irritation from sex?  I'm hoping I did not have sex but seems unlikely to get a rash without sticking my penis in a hole!

You can get a rash from anything, really.

It's not an STD - you wouldn't get symptoms nearly this quickly.

It could be fungal or friction, but the only way you'll know is to get it checked out. Stop trying to treat it yourself and let a doctor check it out. If it's fungal, you didn't get it from the drunken encounter - that wouldn't appear that quickly.

If you aren't sure you had sex or not, some STD testing would be a good idea.
