Redness on penis head need to know if it is an STD

---

im a male and i have been having this problem for a couple months now. i have this redness on my penis head. it is all around the head of the penis it is like a swelling and it is red. it also comes on the sides of the head a little bit. it also is on underneath the head and around the hole of the penis head. it gets worse when i masterbate but after like 2 or 3 days its gets better but is still there. also after i get up in the morning and check it, it is very red i think it is from moving around in my sleep and it gets irritated. it also burns sometimes and like trobes and it sometimes burns when i pee and it burns a little accutally right now like the pee hole does. sometimes it itchs also. i went to see my doctor about it, twice. first time he told me to use a moztourizing cream and then the next time he gave me a perscription cream and that didnt help. he told me it wasnt and STD.i have never had sex before but i am looking to with my girlfriend and i dont want to give her anything so i need to know if this is and STD?????

soulds like the head of your penis is "dry" and causing a irritations, usually caused by soap I think, not too sure if this is right... hsvent sleep for a while so my head is foggy :|

Welcome to A2A, simone5749. Do you know what the prescription cream was? You could well have a fungal/yeast infection, and these are usually easily cleared up with antifungal cream that you can get without prescription from a pharmacy. Occasionally a fungus is resistant to one and it doesn't work, and you have to try one with a different active ingredient.It is a good idea to clear it up if that's what it is, because it could be transferred to your girlfriend in sex.

the cream was clotimazole and betamethasone dipropionate cream USP 1%

what if my girlfriend were to give me a blow job could she get any thing from that??

Clotrimazole is an imidazole-type antifungal. If that didn't work, I'd suggest trying an antifungal from a different class. There's a list of antifungals here.It's possible for yeasts to infect the mouth also.

For your girlfriend's sake, I'd hold off on the blowjob until you've solved your problem. Otherwise you could transfer it to her.I'd try the antifungal as Ineligible suggested. It should clear things up pretty quickly.

okay i bought this anitfungal cream today and its lamisil at
it is terbinafine hydrochloride cream 1% -antifugal

its says it cures most jock itch and says relieves itching, burning, cracking, and caling which accompany this condtion
is this the rite stuff i should be using?

you put it on once a day for 1 week
is this good?

and i would like to thank you guys for your help so far thank you so muchhh

Yes, it's one of the newer ones - expensive, but good. It won't hurt if you use it twice a day to make sure.

Yea, but just think of what he's got coming. Priceless.

Sounds like you got a yeast infection, I know cuz, I got the same symptoms, damn doctor swabbed me, it turned out that the girl that gave me head, her mouth was infested with yeast. My penis is still red, I guess I should go buy some cream myself, damn doctor's antibotics didn't work. If you want a blow job, wear a condom.

when i apply the cream should i let it dry before i put my pants back on? I started using it today. After i got out of the shower i put the cream on and then right away i put my boxers on and i was thinking does it wipe the medicine right off when i do that because that might be the reason why the stuff that my doctor gave me didnt work also if i put it on at night before i go to bed after rolling around all night doesnt that make the cream come off? im sorry for asking all these questions just i really what this to go away because i want to do stuff with my girlfriend

You should rub the cream well in. That's important.

tell me if the cream works, I got the same problem

the cream is seems like it is working so far but it says only use it for a week and i dont think that it will be gone by then should i use it till its gone?

Keep using it for two weeks after it has gone - these things can easily come back if you don't make sure they are fully got rid of.

it was clearing up pretty well and then one day i forgot to put it on and it came back moreis that normal?

It's an aggressive one, isn't it? Use the Lamisil twice daily.

okay iv been putting it on twice a day once in the morning and at night before bed and i see improvement but it is not all gone and it says to use for 1 week and i no you told me to wear it for 2 weeks after it clears but how come it hasnt cleared up yet??

It's a tough one, isn't it!Perhaps it's not fungal, but the cream is still having an effect; or perhaps it's a very tough and resistant fungus. But if it's getting better, I'd carry on with it.

if its not fungal what can it be??

because i really what to get rid of this thing so bad im begging you lol
