Is it HSV2

[ohboy216]

Doctor I need aa good opinion about this. Last Thursday I was masturbating and the next day I had a itchy bump on the foreskin of my penis. I assumed it was from friction and I didnt bother it that single bump the next day looked lik clusters of skin bumps like 3 of them,Saturday the 3 bumps turned into a ulcer like sore that itch and burn. today its still ulcer looking. it itches on the opposite side of my shaft but there nothing there no bumps or etc...... I am thinking I have been exposed to hsv2 and having a out break. I had this same problem last year but it didnt last long like this is. What do you think it can be???????

Hello Doc i need some advice.About a week i started noticing a small red rashy thing outside on the lips of my vagina. I though it was a reaction to some chili because one morning when i was cooking i went to the bathroom and accidently touched my area and it burned instantly. I then applied euceryn and assumed that would helped but it burned. About 2 days later i started rashing around my anal area. I say rash because they are not bumps. And it has gotten a little worse. Ive applied different over the counter creams and even monistat just incase if a yeast infection. I have few rash things around the lips of the vagina. I went to the doctor and got hiv test it was negative and also my blood test results i am still waiting for. The doc said it might be herpes or an allergic reaction to something. I have been with my husband for 3 years and nothing like this has ever happened before. My sexual history wouldnt coencide with the possibilty of herpes. We also have had oral sex and nothing has ever appeared in or around our mouths either. I am just really confused. When i pee, if the urine touches the rashes it burns a little. It really bugs me to walk and since I am on my period It is very irritated since i cleaan my area a lot. Im just worried at what it could be because my husband and i cant think of how herpes can be a possibility? I asked the doctor but she just kept asking if i thought i couldve caught something from my husband? I wasnt satisfied with the visit.I really am confused.

Hello,
This can be due to herpes sores or syphilis chancre. Most individuals have no or only minimal signs or symptoms from HSV-1 or HSV-2 infection. When signs do occur, they typically appear as one or more blisters on or around the genitals or rectum. The blisters break, leaving tender ulcers (sores) that may take two to four weeks to heal the first time they occur.

The only way of ruling it out is by getting yourself tested for genital herpes. Laboratory tests include: culture of the virus, direct fluorescent antibody (DFA) studies to detect virus, skin biopsy, and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to test for presence of viral DNA. I sincerely advise you to consult a dermatologist and get it ruled out.
I hope it helps. Take care and regards.
