Sorry, I would like to add that tonight after masturbating is the first time that I have ever noticed a red spot (no blister and no pain) before seeing the scab.
Sorry I am typing too quickly in my frantic state. When I say above that the "blister fell off in about a day or so last week" I meant the "scab fell off in a day or so last week." Sorry.
Have you been communicating all of this with your now girlfriend?... Has she noticed any sypmtoms? Pains/Flu?
I communicated to her regarding the scabs 3 months ago...she basically laughed it off as if there was no chance it was anything serious. I have been away for the last two months so I have not brought up the symptoms of the last two weeks. She has never indicated that she has had such symptoms.
And, thank you for the response Helentroy, I am in desperate need of any words.
This doesn't really sound like what most people typically experience with Herpes. I think you should have a Dr check out any "scabs" that you have. Not because I think its herpes but because scabs on genitals should be check out....I don't think you have anything to worry about really but still go talk to a Dr about it....
I would agree with verysad - both instances 3 years ago and current day don't sound like herpes. Yes, obviously something is going on, so see your doc and get it checked out.
Really both partners should know each others STD/herpes status, especially with unprotected sex. Apart from your symptoms, either one of you could have herpes and not even know it.
Verysaddude and petal130, thank you so much for your help. I will definitely get in touch with a doctor shortly. I really can't thank you enough for taking the time to post. All my best.
