pimple on penis
by mark127, Nov 16, 2002 12:00AM
Doctor I have three questions. I was diagnosed with genital herpes. The igg blood test came back positive for hsv-1 antibodies. The woman gave me oral sex with a active fever blister which I didn't know was herpes or contagious. We had un protected intercourse also. I plan to repeat the test soon to completely rule out type two.
I have been depressed and anxious at times severely since.(end of september)
I've been checking my penis frequrntly for sign of reoccurrance.
An hour ago I noticed a single tiny pimple on the under sign of my penis.. kind of a white head to it. I squeezed it and a tiny amount of rather thick( not runny)pus came out simular to a pimple on face. I wiped the pus away and there is hardly a sign anything was there. It was not in same place of the original outbreak. It didn't hurt to touch it or even when I squeezed it.
Nor did it itch. 1. What could it be?
Also, while I have you. originally i took an antibiotic as that
what the first doctor diagnosed. Anyway since early Oct I have had a white coating doc said thrush..I've been taking the rince and lozenges for a few days now, it's still there. But my question is could the yeast cause itching on my face? I get slight itches frequently on my face for a at least 14 days now...
2. Is that herpes pronomes or could the yeast be througout my body and causing it? ( the itching on face)
Also I have had difficulty swallowing and my top lip has small smooth whites spots from one side to the other. 3. Could yeast cause the sebaceous glans to appear? and will it go away. I noticed them few days after the thrush started.
Thanks
Very worried

On what basis was the herpes diagnosed? Was there a cluster of blisters which lasted 7-10 days? If there was just an IgG blood test, that proves nothing--just that your body was exposed to the virus somehwere sometime.
Let's say the diagnosis is correct. Any recurrence will be in the same place as the first one. It will be blistery and scabby and last a week or more. You won't have to stare at it to tell.
Recurrences will be on the pensis, not on or in the mouth. Your facial symptoms come from anxiety over the diagnosis.
Over time, you will come to see that herpes does not need to take over your life. If the diagnosis was established without doubt (not just by blood test), you should consider some counseling, dermatologic or psychological, to help you come to terms with it.
Best.
