Herpes?
3 months ago I received unprotected oral sex from a girl that appeared to not have any mouth sores. 11 weeks after that I noticed a very tiny painless red sore that appeared below the mid shaft on the penis. It did not hurt at all. The sore didnt have puss, nor a scab. i dont recall seeing a red bump or blister before the sore appeared which is the normal routine for a herpes cycle right? The sore basically closed up within 2-3 days then had a shiny white coating to cover it up but its been 13 days now and I can see the mark where it appeared. I know herpes usually doesnt leave a mark but i was cleaning it with peroxide and that may of not caused it to scab or anything. My lymph nodes have been hurting for the past 5 weeks but the doctor I went to said that they were normal. I also showed the doctor a pic of it and she said it was too small for it to be herpes. It was just one sore and painless. Could I have been asymptomatic then had a mild breakout? I contacted the girl and she said she never had any mouth sores but she may be asymptomatic and was shedding... I am extremely nervous can you help me please and thanks
it's most helpful when you just keep adding to your original post.
you haven't had any symptoms that sound like herpes going on. continue to see your provider as needed for symptoms.

Sorry about that I am new to this. Two weeks prior to the painless sore I had extreme itching and I started to think it was a fungal infection so I decided to put neosporin and athletes foot cream on it which may of causes the small sore but I highly doubt it. Herpes could cause a single painless tiny sore that appears 11 weeks later though right? I never had one of these in my life and all a long I been stressing out over catching herpes and this little sore pops up. So you truly believe this isn't herpes and why or why not? Last question also...
And I really can't say that the sore healed up in 2-3 days. I just know that there were no redness or swelling or puss and it was just white coating. I also should mention that I rubbed urine and applied peroxide and the sore didn't hurt one bit...
It's been a while but I need more advice grace. November 3rd another scab showed up because i believe i saw a very tiny scab and i started digging and the scab appeared bigger from me digging. It ended up falling off before the two day mark. Lately I been feeling these sensations down there that might be tingling but I don't know because it started after I ran into a goal post playing football injuring my hip and knee. That started on December 9th and my penis felt numb on the whole right side for 4-5 days but nothing ever showed up down there. Went away for a few days and then the same sensations happened on the 17th then stopped and now it's going on again for the past few days... Have you ever heard anybody having sensations like that feeling with herpes? My risk exposure happened on July 31st and since my groin pain that appeared September 23rd it haven't went away! I just been feeling weird down there everyday and all this I believe comes from receiving unprotected oral sex. I'm having constant groin pain and it limits me from playing sports and everything. Just to throw this out here, my lesions was on my bottom left shaft and my right side of penis feels funny with those sensations. Would herpes cause groin pain for 3-4 months? I want to say if this is herpes it coming off very atypical.... The sores were very painless also... I also felt a little pain on the left side of my penile head. I was only at risk for hsv 1 but should these constant symptoms making me wonder about hsv 2? Also i'm always feeling dizzy and my neck and behind me ear lymph nodes appear to be swollen on and off.. Thanks a lot grace and sorry for the grammar I'm doing this on my phone... Happy holidays as well...
are you following up on all these symptoms with your provider when you have them?
I'm in a bad predicament with no insurance! Can you let me know what you think about this situation though? I never had an initial outbreak during the incubation period and all the funny feelings down there is no where no the lesions that showed up. On and off today my penis was going from normal to numb... I never seen a blister and I examine my genitals a lot throughout the day.
And the first lesion I noticed was on October 17th which was 3 months after exposure it was never weeping or neither did it hurt or burn.
none of this sounds herpes related.
be seen for proper exam and follow up. call your local health department wednesday to see what your local low cost options are.

The girl gets mad at me when I ask her if she have me something to! She says she swear she never had a std
What makes you think that's this is unrelated to herpes? Not questioning your knowledge I just want to know! I examine my genitals everyday and I've never seen a blister or cluster of bumps or anything! Every doctor that I see says herpes comes in clusters and are painful but you guys are way more knowledgable about herpes...
And again idk how much to thank you for the services you provide! God bless you and happy holidays...
I also been itchy in this one significant spot with random stings there but I have never seen any lesion there...
Are you a doctor or something related in the health industry? because I read your posts and your very knowledgable!
you need to stop worrying like this and go enjoy yourself!!!
reread this post and your original post :)

Your right but I'm so worried :)! It seems like this is bothering me everyday with something new coming up! What does a herpes tingle feel like?
I read that your genital get numb when dealing with herpes also and that's what I been dealing with....
Why do people with herpes say that they feel prodrome symptoms everyday since contracting herpes?
What other things would cause your penis to become numb for weeks on and off besides herpes?
Grace was just wondering why you believe I shouldnt worry about my situation. What makes you believe I didn't contract herpes from that single oral encounter back on July 31st.
Grace Doctors tell me they can't do anything without any sores or lesions. So I would appreciate if you take everything onto your perspective real quick.
I Received unprotected oral on 7/31/12
Got treated for a fungal growing on my thigh on 8/27/12 and was told to go buy athletes foot cream to rub on it and it cleared but I decided to rub some on my penis also. Maybe doing that caused irritation to my penis i believe My penis texture also changed due to that. I have like tons of small looking closed cuts on penis with a new black mark and skin looks wrinkled but all doctors say its normal but they popped up right after all of this occured
I started to have Groin pain on 9/23/12
Shaft of penis was extremely itchy for 10 days oct 1st thru October 10th
One painless ulcer showed up a week later October 17th on the left side below mid shaft and healed up by the 21st. Not even quite sure it was an ulcer because skin wasn't raw or no puss or anything. Then 17 days later on November 3rd I believe I saw a little scab about a inch away from first lesion then I started digging then I caused a lesion that healed up in less then 2 days. Also I have tons of tiny bumps below mid shaft that's been present for months now and maybe those lesions were due to them I don't know where these bumps come from but there painless and still the same months later
December 9th I ran into a medal goal post playing football injuring my right hip and later that night I felt weird sensations on that side which may have caused my penis to become numb. On and off to this day I still feel those sensations but not quite as much as that first day. Feels like a flow or something comes from my stomach down to genitals and my whole body become into shock
Yesterday I had a shock type feel on penile head on left side and burning during urination. I also been feeling like hot sensations in my whole mid extremities since yesterday.
If I did catch hsv 1 from this low risk exposure would hsv1 cause 6 months worth of symptoms like this? I'm so confused and nervous i don't know what to do. Also should I start worrying about hsv2? Sorry grace but your the only one that seems to help :)
