red and sore sensation
I had sex with my partner 6 days ago and ever since that day my penis has been sore and the foreskin has been red around the tip of my penis. when i peel it back it starts to hurt on the botom of my glans i tryed usin some lottion to see if it would take the pain away or keep it moisterised but i dont know today is the first time i tried it. i think it might be a yeast infection or it might just be an infection i dont know. Any help would be good also some ideas on what i can use would be help full also...
Yup, sounds like some kind of infection. You should make an appt or got to you ER for some antibiotics and cream. You should sit and have a conversation with you partner as well b/c if you don't you two will probably just keep passing whatever it is back and forward to each other. Maybe until you both figure out what;s wrong you can use condoms

Millions of people are diagnosed with STDs in the U.S. each year.
STDs can't be transmitted by casual contact, like hugging or touching.
Syphilis is an STD that is transmitted by oral, genital and anal sex.
Discharge often isn't normal, and could mean an infection or an STD.
STDs aren't transmitted through clothing. Fabric is a germ barrier.
Normal vaginal discharge varies in color, smell, texture and amount.
This does sound like a thrush of the penis also known as Candida balanitis, it has had six days to get to work already hence why you will be feeling so sore at this point.
To treat this you need to apply an anitfungal thrush cream 3 times a day for a week.
Canesten thrush cream is the best thing to use, although some pharmacies such as the boots stores make their own brands aswell. You can buy this without a prescription.
This is what you need to buy http://www.chemistdirect.co.uk/canesten-thrush-cream-2_1_1210.html
Apply the cream 3 times a day and makesure you wash your hands every time you have touched your penis... make sure you are keeping your penis clean and dry (there is no need to wash more than once a day, over washing can make it worse)
Continue to apply the cream for a full week even if the symptoms have cleared before, if you stop the treatment early there is a chance that the yeast will begin to multiply again. Ensure you are applying the cream all around the head of your penis and under the foreskin.
Hope this information is helpful, if your symtpoms have not cleared after a week of using this cream then you will need to see your doctor.
