Severe irritation of neck of glans and oral sex
Thank you for maintaining this community. I apologize for taking your time with an unusual situation but I am at my wits end. About 2 weeks ago I had unprotected oral (felatio and cunnilingus) with someone I met at a bar. There was no penetrative sex.
About 10 days after when I was masturbating I noticed what looked like dry skin around the neck of my glans penis (I am circumcized). There were no sores. I was able to rub it off with my finger and noticed afterwards that the neck of my glans was a bit red and shiny all around. I figured it might be smegma from masturbating the day or two before, but I don’t recall ever having smegma in recent memory. I still masturbated and it seemed irritated in places after. The next morning I washed my penis very well and I masturbated later that night and the neck of my glans was red and irritated so the next day I let it be. I figured it might have been because I did a lot of walking the day before I noticed the smegma/skin and it has been humid here.
This morning, my ex-girlfriend who I am still in love with called me out of the blue and said she needed to see me. She said she felt the same way and we had sex. She is the only person I have ever had unprotected sex with and she is on the pill so the sex was unprotected and also pretty intense. Afterward the neck of the glans was even redder than when I masterbated a few days ago and is quite irritated. We are formally back together and now I am terrified maybe I got something from the unprotected oral sex almost two weeks ago but when I researched didn’t find any STD that causes these sorts of symptoms yet I am still terrified that is what it is. Is this likely to be an STD?

This doesnt sound like an STI to me. Could be cause by friction (teeth maybe or since then you are checking it alot?). Potentially balanitis which is not an STI.
I would stop masturbating for a few days and stop checking it. See how it goes. I think it will all blow over and you are good to move on. Dont let anxiety take control.
From YOU giving oral to her is very very unlikely to transmit an STI to yourself due to how STIs work with the female anatomy.
From getting oral from her, it is a bit risker than giving it, but still statistically lower odds and is lieu of symptoms not worth testing over a single encounter and this does not really sound like a symptoms of an STI.
Your emotions about your ex (now current so congrats) are making you feel guilty. You did nothing wrong, you were a single lad enjoying yourself. move on from this :)
