Oral sex and std's with sore on penis. please help.

Hello Dr. I know you have lots of posts already in the forum about oral sex and std's, but my question is a bit different. here it is:
Im a 27 year old male, and 3 days ago I had oral sex practiced by a 18 year old female which I dont know and im not sure if I will ever see again, she practiced oral sex on me for about 2 minutes tops, and I started to get paranoid, and immediately stopped. I really got paranoid because I had 2 pencil tip open sores below my penis, just in my shaft which did come in contact with her mouth and saliva when she was going down on me. I did not notice any open sores in her mouth, but I am very worried, and cant stop thinking about this. I have felt ok and no problems down there, the only thing i have felt is overall heaviness, but I do not know if this heaviness is because of my anxiety, or depression I have. I live with my wife and I have a son and I am worried I can transmit any std's to her, or that I could have something myself, I have avoided sex contact for the last 3 days due to this.
could you please let me know if i should worry about this? and what do you recommend. I appreciate your help.

My first reaction is to be more concerned because of risks to your partner than I am for your health. The most common cause of genital ulcer is herpes, and you may well have exposed her. I see from the posts before my reply (below) that you attribute your lesions to trauma from masturbation. Maybe so, but I nevertheless suggest you get herpes checked out; and in the meantime, maybe do your partner the favor of trying to locate her and tell her of this possibility.
In terms of the risk of transmission to you because you had open sores, if they were directly exposed to your partner's oral secretions, there probably is some increase in STD risk. That risk is are so low anyway that I really wouldn't worry about it. Of course get checked if your genital sores don't heal promptly or if you develop other STD symptoms in the next couple of weeks, like discharge from the penis or new genital lesions. Or if you remain nervous, visit your healthc are provider or your local health department STD clinic for examination and reassurance.

First of all, any act of unprotected oral sex carries a risk too low to even calculate for most STDs. Unless you develop a discharge or painful urination within 10 days after your exposure, I dont think there is any reason for worry. In the meantime I would probably get to a derm to determine the cause of these lesions. Now wait for the docs response.
Dear: ryn21
The cause of my 2 lesions is for masturbating. Everytime I masturbate the prepuce seems to get these type of lesions where my fingers touch my skin, and everytime I pull back my prepuce the cuts seem to open again and they do heal after 3 days or so.
I have been in a 6 year relationship and have not had unprotected sex with anybody else than my wife.
I just would like to know now that my lesions aren't herpes or any std's, just normal cuts made by masturbating if I should be worried. you Mention that if I do not have pain when urinating during the next 10 days all should be alright. could you please let me know what I could of cought with this oral sex I recieved?
Is it safe that I have sex with my wife? Im to concerned. I know it was stupid, and that is why I stopped the activity ( oral sex ) as soon as I Could.
For now everything seems normal. my penis feels the same, and color is the same, the only thing I feel different is that im depressed and I cant stop thinking of this stupid moment, and Anxiety.
This forums is great! I know that every experience is different and that is why i need your opinion.
Ps:I hope Dr.H answers me soon.
Please let me know.
Thank you All
