Hi, Welcome to HCM. It seems that you are having balano-posthitis (Inflammation of glans penis and fore skin), possibly due to yeast infection. Symptoms explained by you fit with an yeast infection. A simple examination, if necessary few investigations, would confirm the diagnosis. Treatment with antifungal creams and tablets will cure the condition. Screening for other STDs and HIV is a must after appropriate time as you had unprotected exposures. Till then it is better to abstain from sexual activities. Try to stick to protected sex in future to avoid unnecessary mental tension. Dr S.murugan
