30 year old male. in August I had in protest sex with a female that said she had yeast infection. I have red rash on the head of my penis (I am circumcised). it is now January. it is still there. I have no pain when urinating, or discharge. I do have a strong smelling urine in the morning. I have some testicular discomfort. i had my testicles mri, and ultra sound plus blood test. came back with nothing but possible hernia. but I also have a herniated disc in my back that is on my sciatic nerve. I went to the dr and they ran std test. came back negative for ghonarea and chlamidyia. test was taken I believe 2 to 3 weeks after intercourse. I just switched jobs so I'm waiting to go on new health plan. Just wondering if this is something I should be worried about ? or if maybe I had a false negative std test? Thank you

Have you used anything to treat the yeast / bacterial infection, if so, did you use the entire course of treatment you may have been directed to use … ? Particularly if you were given an antibiotic … ?
While I was traveling last year, I had sex with 3 different women. However, I always used a condom. All of them gave me a blow job. Stupid me, all of them smoked. I’m not sure if there’s anything to do with what I had on my penis. I am not circumcised.
My issues: Tingling sensation under my foreskin. This will come and go around 20 times per day and it drove me crazy. Red penis head. I can rub off smegma after a few hours. I had no bumps, no discharge came out from my urethra. I shower daily, clean, and I’m healthy.
Treatments: Saw 2 urologists, 2 chinese doctors, 2 primary care doctors, 1 dermatologist online, 1 general doctor online. They prescribe me all kinds of cremes and some oral medicine. Chinese doctors gave me medicine to “clean my system.” At first, I thought I have a yeast infection, since that’s what everyone think it was. I even went to Planned Parenthood because they took my insurance. I’ve watch multiple youtube videos, youtubers suggests me to do cleansing (juicing for 3 days). Used several steroid creams, which is supposed to be bad for you. All blood test negative and all doctors think it was balanitis.
I WAS LOSING HOPE…
Solution: The online dermatologist suggest me to see a dermatologist in person. I made an appointment and waited a few weeks. I was lucky. My dermatologist actually cared about his patients. Smegma doesn’t always appear on my penis, but I purposely didn’t shower the night before. I knew that smegma might build up. He took a small sample during my visit. He prescribed me a cream while we were waiting for the lab results. Cream didn’t help. 2 weeks later when the results came back, the lab found SCANT GROWTH OF ENTEROCOCCUS FAECALIS. You can google what that is. He then prescribed me MUPIROCIN 2%. He also gave me a sample of ELIDEL (very expensive). I used the mupirocin for a week and told me to apply Elidel as well. I was using these simultaneously. I really think that mupirocin killed the bacteria for me, but I’m not really sure. He instructed me to use it everyday for a least a week and slowly wear them off by applying 3 days a week afterward.
IT WORKED..
My Doctor told me to be patience because I’ve used so many creams on my penis. He said my skin had taken a beating… Patience paid off and I’m fine now. The most frustrating part in this experience was I couldn’t discuss this issue with anyone… of course, it was an embarrassing topic. I only told one girl about it because I had to explain to her why we couldn’t have sex.
I hope this helps.
