thanks doctor.

I did not have unprotected sex before this happened. It seemed to just happen yesterday evening after dinner; I felt mild irritation.

Also I don't see any discharge from the penis.

I wont be able to go to the doctor until Monday (2 days from now). But in the meantime, I can apply Neosporin. Is that ok? Or should I go immediately?
