I'm a 30-year-old male who just received oral sex for the first time in two years. Immediately after, I noticed four small brown dots in a diamond shape on the head of my penis.

I have pain in my right neck/shoulder area deep inside, and when I take a deep breath, there is a sharp pain. The pain has been constant for 3 days, and I am not managing it with any medications. I am a 24-year-old male with no prior chronic conditions or recent illnesses, but there is an inconsistent cough. No injuries have been sustained. What could be causing this pain and what should I do?

My knees turn red after a shower, and I experience itching, burning, and pain on my outer thighs. The symptoms are more pronounced when I'm not moving, but they decrease significantly when I walk or run. What could be causing these symptoms, and what should I do?
