What Are The Symptoms And Treatment For Chlamydia?
Hello I think I might have Chlamydia I am not circumsized. I am VERY clean (shower twice daily) and have never had an itchy sensation or smegma build up in the folds below my penis head... the skin area. I did have unprotected sex a week ago for the 2nd time with a familiar partner and the day after until now I have had the itchy sensation. This morning there was a lot of smegma.

Hi.
As per your case-history my advice is-
1. you need tests to confirm the diagnosis. Tests required are HIV, RPR, Smear of the smegma or urethral discharge.
2. Similar tests of partner are also required.
3. For relief till you get tests done or consult a venereologist, take cetrizine tablet for itching and apply clotrimazole cream twice daily.
Thanks.
