Posted on Mon, 12 May 2014
Question: Hi i have a question. I had protected sex three weeks ago and have been feeling fine. Mostly stressed but today i noticed what appears to be a red spot on my penis and I'm freaking out. Could this possibly be an std even though i used a condom?

Brief Answer: It is mostly due to Ballanitis Detailed Answer: Hello Thanks for your query,based on the facts that you have posted it appears that you have developed red spots on glans of your penis after protected sex before 3 weeks. I shall be happy if you can post me few more details to help me in making comments on your problem. 1) Do yo have any discharge from the urethra? 2) Do you have any urinary symptoms ? Assuming that you do not have any urinary symptoms and urethral discharge and you had protected sex there are no chances of acquiring STD however it can not be ruled out 100%. as condom gets broken which is sometimes not noticed. I would suggest you to get basic screening test for STD and swab test done to be rest assured about acquiring STD and to allay your anxiety. This could be mostly due to infection of glans penis (Ballanitis). You need to take broad spectrum antibiotic like Cefexine along with anti inflammatory drug like Diclofenac twice daily.along with topical antibiotic ointment like Neosporin twice daily. Ensure to wash your genitals with warm water twice daily Ensure to avoid sexual encounters till it heals up completely. Hope I have answered your query ,please feel free to ask if you have more questions , I shall be happy to help you Thanks and Regards. Dr.Patil.
