Just to add on more detail on which part that i felt most sensitive.

Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.

I would like to reassure you that there is nothing to worry if you and your partner are not suffering from a sexually transmitted disease.
You might be suffering from balanoposthitis for which you can take antibiotics like amoxicillin and clavulanic acid ,anti-inflammatory drugs and antifungal drugs like clotrimazole ointment for local application (for about 7days). However, the antibiotics are prescription drugs and you would need to consult your prescribe appropriate therapy.
But if you suspect that there is a possibility of a sexually transmitted disease, please do get the following investigations done:
•     Screening for HIV
•     Screening for hepatitis B & hepatitis C
•     VDRL
•     Urethral smear for gonorrhoea and herpes infection.

The treatment protocol will depend on the reports.

I hope I have answered your query. Please accept my answer if you have no further queries.

Regards.

Hi Dr XXXXXXX

Thank you for reassuring. But what you have mention as a balanoposthitis, it doesn't look like it as i ran through the search through the internet. Or does all balanoposthitis doesn't have the same effect? When i pull my foreskin down, at first it felt a little sting when initially i touch that part it felt a little sensitive but the more i touch it it doesn't feel anything. During the intercourse we were protected but its only during oral sex.

Anyway another question : a full blood test determine a gonorrhoea and herpes infection?

thx
XXXXXXX

Hello.

Thanks for reverting.

Course of the disease differs from patient to patient. Please send good photographs of your penis lesion, so that I can give my opinion.

Also tell me whether you are able to retract foreskin over glans or not?

Herpes can be diagnosed by blood test. For Gonorrhoea, test can be done urethral smear.

Kindly revert back with answer to my question and a picture, so that I can give appropriate suggestions.

Awaiting your reply.

Hello.

Thanks for reverting back with pictures.

I have gone through pictures you have provided and apparently I don't see any reason to worry about.

After looking at your photos, I feel, your problem could be due to vigorous intercourse which resulted in minor trauma to the penis hence you are facing this trouble.

You can apply Neosporin ointment locally which contains mild antibiotic and give you soothening effect.

I hope, this answers your query. Please accept my answer in case you have no follow up queries.

Wish you speedy recovery.

Regards.
