I had posted question here a several times before and each time really helped me...I thanks you for then and.I thank you in advanceAdvance care plus Advance relief.
Around Dec. of last year I had a few unprotected oral sexBuccal smear Causes of sexual dysfunction Child abuse - sexual Delayed ejaculation Erection problems Female sexual dysfunction Inhibited sexual desire Orgasmic dysfunction Puberty and adolescence Rape Safe sex with a street hookers. We smoked coke and I recieved oral for a few hours. That next day, I felt this burning , tingling feeling that I had not felt before. Then I notice the rim of my penisCancer - penis Curvature of the penis Penis care (uncircumcised) Penis pain turn red , with a few red spotsBirthmarks - pigmented Liver spots Measles, koplik spots - close-up Mongolian blue spots. I went to the clinic , and the doctor said everything looked normalNormal saline flush, and all my tests were negative. Then a month later, mid Jan. I noticed a small white bump on the bottom tip of my penisCancer - penis Curvature of the penis Penis care (uncircumcised) Penis pain. I tried to squeeze , pop, itch , and just made it worse. There was a lil pus ..but hardly no liquid of any type....It got infected and turned really red and looked like a bad pimple, then in about a week..it disappeared leaving a tiny little black dot. I then went to the clinic again...did all the test again...( negative)...and the doctor told me that everything was normal it was just the way my skin was. RELIEF!.
Around early Feb.a month later i noticed a red spot, on the bottom part of the head...right about the rim. it wasn't even a bump because I couldn't feel anything. But it was fairly big...size of pen cap...maybe al lil smaller. So for about a month I just had a red spot that was so slightly raised. Sometimes you have to have the light shine to really see it..the red spot alone had this shine/glaze to it.. It didn't itch or hurt and had no feeling. I was hoping this would just go away....but i have had this since it started and now it seems worse. Now the red dot are really noticeable and when I masturbate I can even feel some sort of scab. As I looked at it carefully it even seems like a lesion or blister.
This last weeked I had a encounter for only oral sex which was unprotected. Then I did a lot of masturbating with lotion The burning and tingling feeling appeared again. I would constatly look at my penis because there is some discomfort, i'm not sure if its burning or tingling, or it could be both....theres even some weird pain on the tip of the penis....and a stinging feeling on the shaft and seems like my testicles hurt too. Today I spent about a hour examining my penis.....1. That red spot thats been there for many weeks is now looking like a lesion , blister. 2. The shaft of my penis when flacid has lots of wrinkled skin and when erect I noticed a few spots where the skin is gone. . Kinda like a eraser burn....or a ulcer but not discolored in any way. Could this be from masturbating...( i have noticed that my penis is sometimes dry and sticky. ). 3. I feel burning/itching on the penis. I can't really pinpoint where the discomfort is coming from but when i'm sitting down , driving, It feels like the whole penis has been dipped in ben gay.
Scary thought of having std's is taking over my days. I would read 100's of post on the forums and I would read many articles online. I'm afraid that I caught something now.....I will go in to see the clinic again but wanted your advice and thoughts about this. Thanks
Since hsv1 genitally would be the most likely herpes culprit here -the only way to diagnose it accurately would be thru a lesion culture and typing. Have you even had a herpes blood test yet though? Just because you think these are symptoms of a new infection doens' t mean that it isn't just a previous hsv2 infection making itself known.
That said - I don't think what you are describing is due to herpes ( at least not hsv1 from oral sex that's for sure ). Why not? Well the frequency of your symptoms for starters. Not many folks with hsv1 genitally get symptoms this often. Also you describe some of these symptoms as hanging around for awhile which also isn't a sign of herpes. I think at this point you should 1- stop having unprotected oral sex so that you aren't worrying so much about it all. 2 - stop using regular lotions for masturbation - get yourself a decent lube that won't irritate your skin. 3- see a dermatologist to see what might be going on. It could be a lot of irritation ( several hours of oral will irritate even the most randy of penis's my dear! ) or it could be fungal or bacterial. Getting a more thorough work up and not just thinking std's is the best idea. I assume you've had full std testing though done for all the other std's?
