I got tested for std over a year ago when i had similar concerns. I worry i have herpes. At times i get red patches on my foreskin. Skin looks irritated. I have a photo i wish i could attach. I also get redness on tip of my penis and sometimes it gets a bit sore and stings through the night but very rarely hurts when peeing

View 1 RepliesI have visited a massage center for body to body massage and during the process, the lady started massaging my naked penis in between her breast for 10-15 mins and it was kind of rough. I have noticed a skin lesions near her breast. What are the chances for HSV getting transmitted this way?
View 6 RepliesThis stripper licked my penis briefly a couple of times, from the bottom to the top. She did not put my penis into her mouth and she did not suck me. Total exposure was probably 5-10 seconds.
After this occurred i told her to stop, left the room and masturbated without washing my penis first.
I could not see an active cold sore, but it was dark.
I had a type specific IGG blood test about 2 years ago and i was negative for both HSV1 and HSV2 at that time.
I am currently 7 days post exposure and i have had no symptoms other than the post-exposure regret amplifying normal skin sensations.
1. How much of a concern is this exposure for HSV?
2. I know that the virus needs to be 'massaged' in, but i am concerned with the act of masturbation afterwards this may have been a possibility.
3. I know that a primary outbreak can take up to 14 days, but is more common in 2-5 days. Would you say that this exposure, coupled with 7 days and no outbreak mean that i am likely home free?
4. Can I engage in regular sexual relations with my wife?
5. Am i at risk for any other STD's?
I am a man and have been married and monogamous for many years but 8 days ago I foolishly engaged in receiving oral by two men and giving oral to one of them in a men only group sex meeting. I saw no visible signs of anything on their penises. About two days after the encounter I had on and off tingling of the inside of my penis. After eight days I still have what is more like a burning and pain in my urethra and an occasional mild itching at the tip of the penis and some slight pain upon movement in my testicles. I have no pain while urinating and my urine is clear. I have no visible spots or lesions anywhere. I am constantly worried about herpes and at a loss of what to think or do. Thank you for your advise.

View 1 RepliesAbout 9 weeks ago I went to a massage parlour and received oral sex.
Maybe about 1 minute without a condom. She then put the condom on and started. I showered and went home. 2 days later I woke up to painful pinching Feelings in my penis. The head of my penis looked bright red and kind of flakey. No visible sores. I had the usual std tests about a week later. All negative. The pinching lasted for about 5-6 weeks. I went for another round of std tests. All negative. My doctor gave me an anti fungal creams but it just seemed to irritate it..I ended up taking fluconazole antifungal pill. Maybe it helped? I've been going through extreme anxiety since this encounter.
I took the igg herpes blood test at 8 weeks. Negative. Going to my doctor tomorrow to see the numbers.
im a 25 year old male and for nearly a year now I've had itchy tingly genitals ranging from the tip of my penis, foreskin, penis shaft, scrotum, perineum, anus, down my urethra and deep inside my anus. I've been treated for fungal infection which didn't do anything and now my doctor is treating me for prostration. vie checked the symptoms of this condition on the internet and itchy tingly genitals isn't a listed symptom. my symptoms seem to match those of genital herpes - only thing is I've never had any kind of rash at all! these symptoms first started when i had a cold sore on my nose and think i may have somehow spread it to my genitals. am i just being very paranoid? I've been on sites which says that herpes doesn't always produce outward signs - should i be asking my doctor to treat me for herpes instead?
View 1 RepliesSo about a month ago I noticed these white dots that appears on the shaft of my penis that were flush with the skin (not bumps). About a week ago, I noticed that they have risen and turned into a cluster of little bumps and I'm afraid of it being herpes or maybe some other STI. I am very sexually active but with only one partner and I know that I am her only partner too. We use condoms about 80% of the time (she is also on the pill but can never be too safe). I would like to think of us two as very clean and hygienic people which is why I'm confused about what these small bumps are. They have given me no pain at all, in fact, I forget they're even there until I look at them.

View 3 RepliesI bumped by toe and had some bruising but no swelling a few days ago. I have been walking on my foot but favoring the side not injured. Now there is a redness on the edge of the bruising and I am concerned about infection.
View 2 RepliesStarted three days ago, I can feel that I have several redness bumps with itchy sensation spread around the scalp and majority are at occipital and temporal bone area, and two on the right and left frontal hairline. They stated from inion and back of both ears then go up. These bumps are really itchy and moderately swollen. I never had this kind symptom before. I have dandruff since I was litte until now, sometime it is seasonal. I eat unhealthy sometimes, I live outside so.
My wife and I thought these bumps are allergic reaction for some reason, but we could not figure it out where it come from. I took one pill for allergy last night, and they are smaller when I woke up today. Kind of smaller, but I am not sure will it come back or something else. So, recently I ate a lot healthy food. Oh, I forgot to mentioned that it is all happened after I eat a lot mung bean soup about three days ago. So, we thought it is maybe some metabolic reaction for part of the reasons. But that's weird to me, there must be something wrong.
About two weeks ago I began experiencing sharp pain and irritation in the left region of my left eye. I was diagnosed with a corneal abrasion and was prescribed an eye drop medication to help it heal. Over the next few days my symptoms began to improve, the redness in my eye began to fade, and the pain was nearly gone.
However, a few days ago I have been experiencing extreme itching in the same region of my same eye. It isn't constant, and only seems to occur at random intervals, but it mainly occurs right or soon after I take the eye drop medication. My eye has also gotten slightly more pink/irritated than it was a week before (a week after I started the medication).
Is this just part of the healing process, or am I developing a reaction to the eye drop? Or could it be something else entirely?
15, and had a dull ache in right calf for 4 days now, there is no swelling, no redness, it isn't tender to touch. Only symptom is the very dull ache itself. I have also got anxiety which may affect this but i'm not sure. Finally i have had a ache in left calf a few days ago which only lasted 1 hour or so and i haven't had it since, it has swapped legs? Any thoughts on what it could be?
View 8 RepliesI posted a few days ago about my new diagnosis. I am 25 years old. I really feel that I need to express how I am feeling right now because I am driving myself insane. I am currently having a lot of redness and burning. I was on the phone with this guy in London who I have been dating for three months and all I wanted to do was cry on the phone. I feel like running away so I don't need. To explain what this is it what I am going through. I told a few of my friends and they don't really get it At the moment I am feeling very hopeless
I am frustrating because when I had the biopsy done the doctor said this is a classic case of lichen sclerosis. She didn't tell me how I would feel after the biopsy or what I could do while travelling without any steroid cream. She just booted me out of there and I took the underground back home in tears. I now look all scarred down there and it has made my self esteem go down very low. I feel like since I am so young who is going too accept me like this?? I have been using coconut oil and tries to find some pure aloe vera but I haven't come across it yet. I am travelling by myself in Europe and all I want to do is go home. Can someone please provide me with some positive feedback. I am crying everyday.
My partner has been diagnosed with HSV2 in the genitals. He has never had an external break out with sores but ever since he has been diagnosed 7 weeks ago he has constant itching around is anus and all down the insides of the inner legs (especially where the underwear line is), ball aches (just one ball at a time), tingling pains like shards of glass under his skin all throughout his anus, balls, penis and inner thighs. Some days are better than others and he can get thru the day. Other days he can't even bear to sit or walk. Its gotten so bad now he cant even touch his penis! some days the inside of his penis burns and it feels like there is still urin left inside. other days his ball aches so bad that a stabbing pain goes up into his stomach, it is debilitating he cant even concentrate at work. a minute can't pass without something hurting.
He has tried a full course of valtrex for 10 days and nothing helped. he tried no meds and it seemed to get a bit worse. he tried a double dose of valtrex for a week and no change.
He is so depressed and worried about it because nothing changes and he hurts badly every day. he has changed as a person and i am reaching out for any leads or help. I have suggested to him to be in valtrex for a much longer term period but he doesn't think it will help as he felt nothing before when he was on a double dose...
We are raw, irritated, red, have tears, hurt, sore, itch, and have white patches. We also have fusion and disappearance of some of our parts. Just by looking you can see it all happening except the fusing and disappearing parts. It seems adhering occurs when you don't know..it just appears one day. Is it occurring when we itch or when we are raw and irritated? Do the white patches causes the adhering and covering over our parts? Does the fusing happen at the white patches or can it happen anywhere else on the vulva where we don't have redness, white patches or itching ? Then do we use it all over the vulva when we are free of flare-ups and using steroid once week? When we are free of a flare-up where to we use the cream? Do we use it where we had the irritation ? Do we use it where the scars are and the fusing is even though we are flare free? I read we use the steroid to prevent further scarring and fusion, but I'm still not sure if the fusion is the result of the other symptoms and when we do maintenance with the steroid where do we put it?
Recently found out that I have genital herpes. It's scaring me because I'm a lesbian and I feel like I will never be able to have sex again. I have a couple of questions.
I'm in a relationship with a woman, would she contract herpes by giving me oral sex when I don't have an "outbreak"? Can she contract the virus orally?
What's are the risks and probabilities?
Can you have herpes 1 in your genitals or is it only herpes 2 in your genitals. What does this really mean?
Hello! I was recently back in February diagnosed with hpv. I had full blood work done and I have no other diseases or infections. I've also not had sex since before the testing. I recently noticed I have two painful blisters, one on the inside of my labia and the other on the other lip. I shave and I've had ingrown hairs but these definitely don't feel the same. They are super uncomfortable. I'm unable to go to the doctor until The end of the week and wanted to see if anyone knew what they might be? And any temporary ideas for pain relief? Over the counters pain killers do nothing. Also, I have extremely bad allergies to pollen and with the pollen, came these blisters, so I am not sure if they are related. I've added pictures below. Thanks for the help.
View 6 Replies27 YO male. Been tested a few times with negative test results for HSV 1 and 2 IGG tests. However, from time to time, I get these little sores on the very corner of my mouth (generally on the right side, VERY small, and singular). They don't hurt terribly bad and don't really leave any crusting. Sometimes they are tender and red, but generally not painful (barely noticeable most of the time). I was curious to know if this has happened to anyone else and they found out what it was? I don't think it's herpes, but it shares some symptoms.
I'm fairly sexually active, but I am very cautious as to whom I sleep with, always wear condoms, and give a good check of someone's oral region before I engage in anything. Thoughts?
