Question : I feel soreness on the tip of my penis. It seems a bit red too. I've felt this soreness for a few days. I had unprotected sex about two weeks ago, but I don't know if the two are related. What could it be, and what should I do?

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. If you do not mind answering a few more questions for my better understanding it would greatly help sir:

+Was the unprotected sexual contact with a known or unknown person?
+If the person was known, do you know her medical and sexual history?
+How long after the sexual contact did your symptoms appear?
+Did you wash your genital region soon after intercourse or did you go straight to bed?
+Have you ever been diagnosed with any STD's?
+Do you have any other symptoms like itching, penile discharge, temperature, etc.?
+Could you attach a clear image of the affected region to our discussion for my examination?
+Do you have your medical insurance and easy access to a medical centre or hospital?

I look forward to hearing from you in order to help you further.

Best wishes.
