About a week ago I noticed my penis was getting very irratated it started by being all red and bumpy. I just had ran out of body wash and used soap, so, I just thought it was a irratated effect. I am uncircumsized by the way. The skin was tight when pulling back when I was erect but fine when I was not, it hurt only slightly. So I went and bought new body wash. I notice the head of my penis was really red and the skin started to peel. After the skin had peeled off it continued to get irratated. I noticed also recently a scab near the top of my foreskin appeared, and fell off within 24hours. I have not had one since though. Also at the start my penis itched a little nothing big just an itch that once dealt with did not come back for a few hours. Recently, though still looking at it, it has red blotchs the skin sometimes peels off, red bumps, but there is no pain, no itch, and no problem retracting the foreskin.

I have recently been sexually active with another man, but these symptoms do not match up with any STD I have ever ran across. Also though I have been given oral sex, we have done nothing further than that.

However; about 3 weeks ago and a few days before this all started I learned I have strep throat. I was given Penicillin by my doctor to take. I finished the medication, and learned a week afterward it did not cure all the symptoms and it was coming back. I went back and got 10day supply more of Penicillin and I am still taking this medication.

Could this just be a side effect to Penicillin, perhaps an allergic reaction? It seems odd to target just there and not my entire body. I am really concerned if it is and STD or an Allegric reaction and if severe if I should stop the medication.

I would say that you probably have a yeast infection from all of the pencillin. Call the dr. they may prescribe you a prescription over the phone. You also need to eat yogurt when you take antibiotics, this will reduce the chances of you getting the yeast infection.

Well, I would have to say that my situation would best be described as your first paragraph was stated, however 1) I am not sexually active with other men or prefer same sex relationships 2) I have gotten tested for all types of Viral and bacterial infections regarding STD'S. I am also uncicumcised and regreting it as I've been told that I have higher chances at catching any types of infections. I am starting to lean more towards having a yeast infection. I have also been prescribed to Metronizidole which is a antibiotic however is not helping much.

I have the same problem right now and I am circumcised. I have had sex but not with a male. I am also just now getting over strep throat. I didn't go to the doctor because of lack of funds but strep is getting better. What happened to get it to go away cause it is itchy and I would like to know if it is more than just a rash
