What causes itching and rashes on the penis after a unprotected sex?
Patient: Dear doctor, I m happy to find this site. I don t really know what is wrong with me, my story goes thus. First, I am a Tboy. I will be 19 this year. I never have sex till last year August, a month before I became 18. It was unprotected, and that is the only sex I ve had. Fee days later, I started seeing rashes on my arms, I got confused, I washed the bed spread (which is the same we used while having the sex) it disappeared but I wasn t the same anymore. I felt itches on the tip of my penis so I took a natural medicine produced here in the country (Nigeria) I think it stopped. I thought that was the end, with time, I started having strange feelings on some one of my bone, joint or muscle once in a while. I don t know how to explain it, it wasn t painful neither was it making me tired but it was as if [it was somehow rusting ] I hope you understand. I feel sometimes even till today. A month or two ago, I started seeing rashes on one side of my groins only for me to to start discovering some grain-like solid spots or whatever on my penis, when I managed to force the pus out of one, it was white and solid. It seemed to me that somehow, the skin of my penis had been like that for some time before my first sex, but not this much now. It is so noticeable. Also, a few weeks or there about after the sex, I started seeing one or two red spots on my body, like about three to five on one lap not really swollen nor painful or itchy not only on the lap but, some,other parts of my body although rare. Currently, I m confused and getting afraid. Before my sex, I ve been diagnosed of staph I don t know whether this I contracted Syphilis, HPV, HSV or my greatest fear... You know. Thanks alot I hope You ll reply soon. Tboy Doctor: Hi,Fungal infection on penis is the most common cause of itching and Rash after having unprotected sex.
