please help
please help this is drivign me insane as ive noticed nobody replied to my post. I realsied now its probably becuase i posted a link to a mdeical site hence ill repost without the link
Hi there, I know you guys probably get asked this at least 1000 times a day but my concerns revovle around whether I have possibly contracted herpes or is it jsut a yeast infection.
Heres my story:
Around two years ago I had unprotected sex with a girl ( i know stupid) and about a week after she phoned to say she had tested positive for herpes. Then funnily enough i started getting red dots on my penis head about 3 months later. So i got quite worried, so i went to get myself tested but by the time i went to the local gum clinic all my symptoms had went away so they couldnt test me at all. thankily i did test negative for every other type of std.
So after all of tihs had occurred I reguarly get red spot like things on my penis ( around 3 times a month). However, I have read that herpes outbreaks mostly occur 4 times a year |(roughly) so this seems totally abnormal?
What i do find strange is that the same pattern or symptoms always evovle in a certain order. Fristly one spot or red mark will appear then when I wake up the next day there will be a somewhat cluster of them. Then after about 2days these will fade into somewhat tiny tiny blisters .However having looked at pictures of a yeast infectino these do resemble the blisters or white marks on my penis head.
However my confusion lies here..... these marks do not hurt whatsoever. there is also no fluid within these blisters unlike the yellow pus you see in pics of herpes. Also, i opften get these marks around 3-4 a month and they also do not go away completely. What i mean by that is that a faded outline of them can be seen when I look very closely at the head of my penis and then before i know the red marks come much clearer and brighter until they form into white marks
I also noticed that these marks do occur if i masturbate frequentl in the process i had mentioned. However they will fade away again even if i continue masturbation excessively. The fact is I have no pain and like i said i get it rather frequently. I have used yeast infectino cream for 3days but yeah you guussed it these marks came back.
I am reallly really ocnfused because these marks aren't like ulcers associated with herpes they are more blisters without the fluid,. However simulatenously i never have any itching downstairs which are common smyptoms of a yeast infection. So yeah overall its painless marks. I think it ocudl be excessive masturbation but i aint sure.
So what do you guys think? Do you think herpes or a yeast infection with regards to my symptoms and this process of marks appearing and then dissappearing. Please help. I know i should get tested but eevery time i go to do so the marks go away so a swab can;t be taken.
|Really annoying!
any advice would be VASTLY appreciated.
mucho love.

you'll need to go and be seen to find out if it's fungal or even just irritation going on.
follow up on the herpes testing too because of your former partner.

no, masturbation will not cause a herpes ob to appear right afterwards.
it's also unlikelyyou'd have recurrences of herpes this often.
your description of symptoms doesn't sound like herpes either.

Thanks for your reply i REALLY appreciate you don't know how it much it means. So to finalise do you think this ocudl be a yeast infection? what does it sound like to you?
Lastly can masturbatino cause such sores and is herpes always sore?

your other post was only a hour ago. please be patient and also if you haven't read our read before posting post on the forum, do so.
I'm removing your other post so it doesn't get confusing too.
have you been seen yet for these? they don't sound like herpes at all.
in the UK, you ''ll need to pay out of pocket for herpes igg blood testing from a private provider. since you have a former partner diagnosed with herpes, pursing testing to see what your own status is is a good idea.
