numerous doctors and still no answer

[johnnyjohnnerson]

So my GP and Dermatologist both tell me that they don't see anything typical of herpes. But they did tell me to get a blood test just in case. Both said they were confident it would be negative. As I wait I just can't imagine what else it could be.

I have no known allergies and have changed nothing in my life the last year.

had one sexual encounter with a woman of unknown status (protected vaginal, unprotected oral)

2 days later, itchiness (this has lasted 5 weeks now and has not subsided even after taking anti-fungal pills, creams, scabies cream, and testing for bacteria in my blood - which I did not have apparently).

also I have had these red dots on my glans penis (penile head) since day 2 or 3 as well and they have not gone away. They look like very faint freckles or something. Possibly brown or red is color. Looks like its slightly below the skin or something. It is not raised. The dermatologist and doctor both said it doesn't look to be STD related.

I have also recently started feeling itchy (same itch I've been having this whole time on my groin and anus area) in my urethra.

I am at a loss and really believe that I have herpes. I don't believe it could be some crazy coincidence. The female was tested for all STD's and came back negative for all. The negative herpes test isn't promising though as her last encounter before me was only 4 weeks previous (before me) & unprotected.

I feel that I am either having a long initial outbreak, or one that came initially and took a day or two off, and is now back again. And I am just one of those people who don't show the "common symptoms."

Furthermore I believe that these patients (those who do not present common symptoms) are very common and the medical field does not know how to diagnose them. They just prescribe drugs and creams to take care of the symptoms but never really figure out what the root problem is. Meanwhile we are transmitting this to others.

Any advice or comments would be greatly appreciated.

If those are from the last 48 hours and you should go straight to a doctor and have them swabbed. If positive then you won't have to wait 4 months for the blood test to find out.

none of us look at photos here. It's not the purpose of the forum.

really, not everything is herpes dear!!!

Also I woke up with little areas of broken skin this AM. They do not itch or hurt, but I am unsure if this is from the "dry humping" or could be my first real sign of herpes (lesions)

any thoughts?

you probably did initially have a fungal infection and now the skin is just overly irritated.

I think you are overly focused on your genitals at this point too. no reason to think you have anything you could transmit to anyone else.

Thank you Grace. Just such strange timing. Does this indicate anything or help? :

I also for the first time in a while ALMOST engaged in sexual activity last night. We kissed and I became eroused. When I did my penile head felt like there was too much blood rushing to it (it hurt and was uncomfortable with a slight stinging feeling inside). Like it was inflamed or something though it doesn't appear to be inflamed or red other than those faint spots I mentioned before. Then after it went down (my erection) when I stopped it (since I wouldn't dare risk giving this to someone if it's what I have; or anything else for that matter) it started to itch again. itching isn't as bad this am but still present. Need help.

these are not herpes symptoms you have. no reason to still be thinking herpes as a cause.

at this point, the dermatologist should probably do a skin biopsy to look for better answers since none of your medications are working. also sometimes the medications themselves can cause these symptoms so if they haven't helped at this point, perhaps just a barrier cream like aquaphor to the areas that itch several times a day would be a good idea to help soothe and protect the skin. sometimes you irritate the skin so much, it becomes a non-stop irritation that doesn't clear easily :(
