to more frequent masturbation 2-3 times a day. Anyway, 4-5 days ago, I masturbated pretty vigorously and noticed that I had caused a little stingy abrasion on the bottom base of my penis
, it is not crusting up or opening up like a painful ulcer like a herpes sore would but it does mildly hurt if I touch it.
So I guess my question is, if it was a herpes sore that exploded, what would I be feeling?
Also, will a doctor still be able to culture this since it exploded and there is just a little cut/sore now?
I never felt any prodome symptoms of tingling. The sore did not itch or burn. It would just midly hurt if I made contact with it. I'm very very worried that this might be herpes. I'm really hoping it is just a cut or a sore that swoll up and got out of control because i kept masturbating and irritating the area.
Also, prior to this I had an oral sex encounter with a prostitute that was 100% safe. I recieved oral sex from a prostitute 3 weeks before this. This is why I'm extra paranoid. The condom was on for the entire duration of oral sex. It did not rip and my penis was covered by the condom.
I hope this is all from over masturbating and hope to put this behind me and move on. This is killing me inside.
Yes, my doctor saw me and performed a culture test on the area.
She said she doubts it is herpes because I didn't have any other symptoms usually associated with herpes outbreaks and a herpes sore would let out a clear, watery discharge, not gooey and pus-y. She believes it is probably a bacterial infection but said you can never be 100% sure until the culture test comes back 2 days from now. She assured me she highly doubts it would be herpes or any STD.
She also prescribed me an antibiotic called Cephalexin
This has calmed down my anxiety a bit, I can relax for now, and will relax for sure if the culture test results on Friday indicate a bacterial infection and not an STD like herpes. Thank you for reading, I will keep you updated on what happens on Friday.
