Brief Answer:
? Strongly suspecting a fungal infection, not STD at this point
Detailed Answer:
Hello sir and welcome.
Thank you for writing to us.
I have gone through your query with diligence and would like you to know that I am here to help. Based on your description I strongly suspect a fungal infection, which is very common from receiving frequent oral sex, which leaves the genital region moist and vulnerable to the growth of fungus.
Although I cannot completely rule out herpes at this juncture and would request you to keep a close watch on your symptoms and write to me in about 7-10 days time. For now, I am almost sure you have a fungal infection and require :
+Topical application of an anti-fungal cream (e.g. econazole) for 2-3 weeks
+Oral/systemic anti-fungal medication (e.g. fluconazole) for 3-4 weeks
+Keep your genitals clean and dry
+Avoid sexual contact in all forms
I hope you find my response both helpful and informative. Please feel free to write back to me for any further clarifications, I would be more than happy to help.
Best wishes.
