I'm noticing a couple of tiny red dots on the head of my penis that appeared this morning. I had sex with a condom last night. Could this be some kind of allergy? Would it be okay to use candid cream for it? I've attached a photo. What do you think?

I recently had unprotected sex during my period, and a couple of days later, I noticed red rashes on the head of my penis with a slight itching sensation. Should I be worried about these symptoms, and what could be causing them?
The symptoms you are experiencing could be due to a possible infection. I recommend using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole 1% cream. Apply a thin layer of the cream on the affected area twice a day for about 1-2 weeks. Additionally, you can take an oral antifungal medication like Fluconazole 150mg as a single dose. It is important to maintain good hygiene and avoid any sexual activity until the symptoms resolve completely. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.
