Detailed Answer:
thanks for sending the question.
It is possible that this may represent a sexually transmitted infection. It could be early signs of herpes. I would suggest that you see your primary care doctor for a comprehensive sexually transmitted disease test panel. This is especially important since you had an unprotected encounter recently.

warm soaks in a bathtub for 15-20
