Hi all. Was wondering if you guys could help me figure out what this is. I got these red spots on the glans of my penis, something I think I couldn't have had for more than a couple of days, and they don't hurt so far but I don't recall ever seeing these before. Anyway, you guys got any ideas about this? Thanks.

@loknar Yeast infection? Is it itchy?
-
I wonder about yeast infection. It isn't itchy all the time, just intermittently. I have been checking it every few hours since my post, and at this time it looks pretty much the same, but I have started seeing some kind of white, material around the urethra. I don't know what it is but I can pick the stuff off just byrubbing while washing. You don't think it is anything like herpes blisters right?
Just for my knowledge sake i took an Oraquick home test for Hiv. Negative at around five weeks since last sexual encounter. Think that is a pretty good sign?

White material around the urethra makes me think of some form of urethritis, which generally causes a discharge of pus that can dry to a whitish material. Gonorrhoea is one type of urethritis but there are others. Is there any pain urinating?
-
No pain. I was on antibiotics for strep a few weeks ago though. I read that it is possible to get yeast infection after antibiotics due to the healthy bacteria being killed off. Is it possible that this is simply what happened? I have a bit of a yellow tongue as well. Could that have been from antibiotics as well?
-
It is certainly often reported that antibiotics can trigger a yeast infection, presumably, as you say, from healthy bacteria getting killed off.

@loknar It wouldn't hurt to just apply a yeast infection cream and see if it gets better. I don't know where you live but this cream is located in the female hygiene section.
