What causes penis irritation, itching and redness after having sex?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am 23 year old male and have been having itching on my penis head, redness, and red dots on my penis head, and difficulty in pulling down the skin. I had an issue while urinating but now it is fine. Irritation is still there. This has been happening for the last four days after having raw intercourse. Kindly suggest.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

Regarding your symptoms, I believe you have developed a sexually transmitted infection due to possible herpes simplex infection or bacteria infection. Kindly do a urine MCS (microscopy, culture, and sensitivity) test and reply to me with the result please take the following:

1. Tablet Metronidazole 400 mg orally thrice a day for one week.

2. Capsule Co-Amoxiclav (Amoxicillin and Clavulanic acid) 625 mg orally twice a day for two weeks.

3. Tablet Ketoconazole 200 mg orally twice daily for one week.

4. Tablet Acyclovir 800 mg orally twice daily for one week.

I hope this will help you. If your symptoms persist, schedule another follow-up appointment via chat, phone, or video consultation.

Thank you.
