you should go and be seen again. this isn't a herpes issue from the encounter you are worried about.
They should be considering bacterial skin infections besides folliculitis for you at this point too.

How are you sure this isn't herpes? And what else could the bumps be? They are currently healed
My worry is that I read online that if you are negative for hsv1 then that puts me at high risk for getting genital herpes from oral sex. Today I still have some back pain. I am also having pain in my lower abdomen, but I am taking amoxicillin and Allegra d for a minor ear infection that began a couple months ago. My doctor won't see me until my blood test results come in. But because I got tested so soon, the results won't tell me anything, correct?
Please reply with detail as to why it is not herpes. Can't shake this paranoia
Overall the risk of herpes from receiving oral sex is low. If you had contracted it, you would've had a very "classic" ob - it would've been obvious and painful. You really shouldn't be thinking herpes as a cause of symptoms from this almost no risk encounter. Folliculitis is a skin infection you can google to learn more.
really, not everything is herpes.
Is the mild pain in my back and low abdomin a possible symptom or no?
not without obvious lesions.
You can see where the blisters were but they are closed up. Do herpes symptoms only exist while the sores are open?
Hi. Today I am still expeciencing lower back aches and pain in my lower abdomin and groin on and off. I am extremely worried. My doctor still has not recieved my blood work and urine results from labcorp. This pain started several days after the sight of the bumps on my scrotum. I was doing some deep stretching that included trying to put my leg behind my head. That was 24 hours before I noticed the back pain. But I wouldn't expect to have pain in my groin from this. I also have lost 10 pounds in the last few weeks. Probably from exercise before, and now with loss of appetite.
I'm not sure I"d be able to walk for a week if I tried to put my leg behind my head....lol
This sounds like something non-herpes related going on. continue to follow up with your provider.
Very true lol. The pain seems to worsen the longer I sit in a chair. Hopefully my doctor can give me some answers. Not sure what happened to the blood tests I had done last week. They told me there's nothing they can do until they get the results, problem is those results are going to be useless as they were too close to the incident. Which makes me think my doctor is unreliable.
Grace, do any of my symptoms give you an idea on if I have any infection (bacterial or viral). I was using my new gyms sauna and hottub which I've read may cause infection, but I cannot determine if that is why the pain in my back and groin appeared recently.
Life, would you mind sharing your opinion?
You cannot contract from your affair. almost certainly from shaving. That area is not ment to be shaved as the skin is too tender, try just trimming next time.
Any idea about the back pain and pressure in groin I've been experiencing for 5 days?
Injury from bending your leg over your back
But I would assume that the soreness would've gone away by now. Is it possible that the folliculitus is from using the hot tub or sauna, and thus the bacteria caused an infection giving me swollen lymph nodes in my groin and lower back soreness? I also was swimming in the Delaware river for about 8 hours the day I noticed the bumps on my scrotum. Possible uti or kidney infection?
Cant say but maybe discuss this with your doctor as is causing you extreme anxiety.
My doctor has been far from helpful. I don't think he knows much more than writing prescriptions. I'm gonna have to search for a new one
