What Causes Reddish Shiny Spot On Penis Glans Post Protected Sex?
Question: Once month ago had protected sex with CSW. It was fully protected with condom followed with a hand job. During this one month there was no signs and symptoms. Last week i.e during the fourth week, i washed my utensils and mistakenly rubbed my penis. Next morning seeing a reddish shiny spot (attached with it) on the glance of the penis. In the morning it looks more red while later seems to less during day time. It is shiny,no pain. Please see attached. Went to a STD specialist and he took sample from the spot, ordered blood and urine test for all STD. Please see the report at the end of 4th week. All reports negative except, candida glabrata. he prescribed me itraconazole 400mg tablet in one day and itraconazole cream for seven days.. Three days passed, not seeing any betterment. Please advice.....what your expert opinion on this spot, whether its purely fungal or any other thing you are suspecting and medication?
Brief Answer:
Could be irritant balanitis.Unlikely to be candidal with protected exposure
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome to HCM.
Thanks for posting your query.
The clarity of 3 pictures sent by you are not adequate to interpret. In the other three pictures there were no marked redness.
You had protected exposure and followed by a hand job. The risk for STD/HIV is remote. Moreover your reports indicated that all major and minor STDs and HIV were not present.
Candida Albicans is more common among candidal infection and that was negative. The presence of Candida Glabarata would be insignificant and it was just a coincidence and non pathogenic.
Your problem was possibly due to irritant effect due to the dish cleansing agents. That can happen. Itracanazole application could be stopped as the application over already irritated glans made worsened. Simple washing with plain water will be sufficient and you would get better soon.
So you need not worry.

I was prescribed TRAVOCORT CREAM ( isoconazole nitrate 10 mg and diflucortolone valerat) once for seven days.
Can you please tell me whether I can have sexual encounter with my wife. Really I am scared to touch her even......I was praying that you should be the doctor here to reply my answer specifically.
Can I leave behind this incident, I am really very very stupid to do this kind of act. Since yesterday, I am noticing some minor itching without any redness in different parts of my body. I am not sure whether it is because of my over consciousness or may be skin dry, please advice....
Do you suggest me any particular test, please tell me....
Again Thank you for your service and time,

Brief Answer:
Unlikely to be STD. Skin condition is a poassibility
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome back.
Your lesion does not fit with any STD. Such shiny or glistening patches over glans can sometimes occur with some non-venereal skin conditions like psoriasis or Lichen Planus. If you consult a Dermatologist he/she will guide you for further management. Travocort cream contains steroid and that would have to some extent effect on your condition. As you had protected exposure chances of STD unlikely. You can have sex with your wife after having a consultation with a Dermatologist. Any treatment over penis can be suggested only after having a close inspection only.
