dont really know whats going on consuming my life
A little over a month ago I had unprotected sex with a girl I didn't really know but met through friends one thing led to another we had sex with a condom on and then again without one because I didn't have another one at the time I am usually always safe this was just a mistake I had made. I told my friend the next day I had sex with this girl and he said "you better of worn a condom" my heart immediately sank I said "why? What r you saying she has something" and he said "no I'm not saying she has anything that I've heard but I know she gets around" so I was freaking out at this point. That day the day after I had sex I felt like it burnt to pee so I was like wtf is going on??? The next day or two I noticed the foreskin got dry and irritated almost like looked cracked and the tip of my penis looked more red and was irritated - now std's are one of my greatest fears so I didn't know if it was psychosomatic and me examining myself every chance I got or what. The next couple days the whole thing felt very irritated and was very uncomfortable I told my mom and we went to a clinic (they terrify me) I got tested for gon and chlamydia both neg. I went to a local stop in hospital the doctor diagnosed me with a "yeast infection" which I didn't know if it was true bc all he did was turn the lights off and use a black light and said the urethra looked inflamed and looked like yeast. He prescribed me 2 diflucan and nystatin cream. Most of the burning and stuff went away still uncomfortable kind of and the skin got extra dry and thinner from the nystatin so now the skin was flaking and super dry and weird looking. I stopped nystatin bc I think it irritated me even worse and made the skin really dry and thin and more wrinkly, was super sensative I couldn't even shave it like cut my skin and hurt really awful afterwards. I went to another emergency room who said she saw nothing really and to follow up with other providers, saw my family physician she assured me it was nothing and to just let it heal but I know MY body and know that the skin was super irritated it hurt to walk, to sit, to do anything. I went to another clinic and got an igg blood test this was a month after exposure, tests came back negative for hiv, syph and herpes type 1 and type 2 (have never had a cold sore or anything), I have been really stuck on herpes and just don't know what to think. I went to a urologist who checked my urine saw nothing abnormal who then checked me out and said he saw didn't really see anything but believed me when I said how irritated andin pain I was and the skin was super sensitive and hurt a lot to walk or function almost like shooting burning pains that even went into my thighs down my legs they were so bad, I think I developed that and irritated myself even worse by using lotrimin jock itch spray bc I don't even have jock itch I just did it thinking it would give me relief for a week and I think it burnt the skin worse and made everything worse made inside of my thighs hurt. I have always had "fordyce" on the shaft of my penis and had them checked out as a child and they were diagnosed as fordyce and now I am 20 yrs old and they were starting to get less noticeable, now ever since the extreme skin irritation has become so bad and so painful and all the worrying and examining and anxiety they look so much worse and are so much more noticeable and stick out farther and look terrible like they are pissed off or something, especially when I have an erection they are so noticeable just look gross before they never looked this bad and now I'm questioning if new ones are cropping up on the right side of the shaft especially near the hair line and a little bit up (none of them have ever gone past the foreskin they stop on shaft) I never cared about them before but now they're making me so upset thinking if they're warts or something. The whole area is painful I have stopped masturbating the urologist told me that they were hair follicles or the fordyce like I said which is very common, could they just be inflamed and irritated like crazy cause of all the **** that's been going on with all the creams and sprays and antibiotics and anxiety on and on? He prescribed me 2.5 percent hydrocortisone cream which I was skeptical to use bc its similar to nystatin thins skin out and all that I used it 2 days and it made **** worse it made my skin hurt my skin looked wrinkly and scaley again I thnk it almost burnt my skin and made the spots look even worse. I don't know what to think at all at this point. Now the symptoms are irritated, weird looking skin, the tip is more red and really sensitive to clothes and walking, the foreskin is more wrinly (idk if that's from the creams), the fordyce look inflamed so much worse stick up more almost flake off after shower the skin is just weird and irritated (possible warts?), tingly uncomfortable burning type sensations in inner thighs recently, when I urinate the stream feels weird and smetimes comes out in two and the urethra looks bigger to me and really irritated, after the stream stops I can't shake anymore bc it leaks out of me and goes everywhere for a long time I have to wipe with a tissue everytime now or it just leaks onto me its so ******* weird. I just want my life back I am extremely active I live in the gym I'm somewhat of a pretty boy and this is just ruining my life my grades in school are dropping my social life is going away I'm depressed I just don't know what to do or where to go I am so depressed please someone help me.please
:(
So depressedddd
But I used the mouthwash over a month ago...
no, but it sounds like a chemical burn from the mouthwash.
Do u have same symptoms?
Yea swab of the urethra sounds painful. Doubt she damaged something. I was reading our post on how you rubbed your shaft with mouthwash. I think its a chemical burn. Have you told your doctor about that?
Im in my early twenties also, and i dont think i deserve what im going through either. However it is what is , we just gotta pray and hope for the best.
seriousy though, i think its because you poured liquid mouthwash on your penis which is most likely causing the pain. You need to tell your doctor you did that. Also, top masturbating its making it worse for you and will take longer to heal.
Swab*** I always have to dab urine off with a tissue skin always looks irritated and different now. Idk if its from stress or all the creams I've used, all the examining stress, dermatitis, some sort of unknown std? Dermatitis? Idk I'm so hopeless I'm 20 yrs old I can't believe I'm in this situation.
The skin has changed it seems like more red than usual, more dry - irritated easily burns, stings uncomfortale throughoutday. When I masturabate it gets worse gets really red and irritated hurts worse afterwards. The sebaceous cysts/fordyce look irritated and are more noticeable from the skin irritation b4 they were hardly noticeable (they are on my shaft) none of them go above foreskin. when flaccid I've noticed it doesn't hang like before gets more shriveled isn't soft when flaccid almost more stiff feeling (think anxiety of my penis has caused this), when I urinate/ejaculate at the end of urination or ejaculation it leaks out and doesn't fully come out anymore just drips sometimes I feel like I have pain in my bladder when I urinate/groin pains. The lady at the hospital when I got tested a second time for gon/chlamydia she used a swag in my urethra and it hurt really really bad maybe she damaged it? Idk I'm hopeless though - completely hopeless. Sorry if jumbled again
describe to me again how it looks and what youre feeling. Your main text is too long and jumbled up.
Ugh how long can this bs last its too much to handle.
I went to a urologist. Nothing happened dude just sent me on my way.
no I know what it is. From all the stress and anxiety in this area of my body cause I've never felt like this before ever its just like kind of rejecting me at this point. You know how when u get scared things do that haha guys know that, or when you're cold. Well aLl the never ending anxiety nd stress on this part of my body is effecting it in its flaccid state a lot, ugh when is this gonna end.
No, i think you need to see a urologist.
Is it possible to have to live an entire lifetime in pain and irritaiton like this forever
I doubt its atrophy. You said the doctor prescribed you steriod cream right? How long did you use it for?
Dont masturbate because that will only irritate it even more. Just wait it out and see how it is.
Have you seen a urologist?
Thank you for your comment. I'm just saying my skin is extremely irritated non stop for over a month and a half I'm not myself down there anymore at all, all those follicle/sebaceous cysts I used to have are really inflamed and look weird. Idk what to think. Is it possibly for atrophy from pain?
Sorry if i dont read all of your posts as you dont have any paragraph there, very hard to read it :S
but here are things you must know:
1. You can't blame STD on someone else unless you were raped. You simply can't. It was your mistake to go on this kind of random sexual activity, it was your decision, and it was YOU to blame, and nobody else. Please take a note that 50-80% of sexually active people DO HAVE HPV, just most of them show no symptoms or they get HPV strains that dont cause anything. But i hope you get my point -> Once you engaged into wild and random sexual activities with random girls, you should be AWARE that STD, one day, will caught you. Even though it's from just a single exposure.
Even if you have friends who have been with 100 girls and they said "i never got STD", doesn't mean you can't get STD from simply a single sexual activity. STD is all about chance, not mathematic. It's like smoking will give you lung cancer by age of 50. Not always true. Some people can smoke until they turn 80 and still survive by then. However, it doesn't mean if you smoke you will live that long either. You get my point?
STD is very common, especially HPV. There's no way to be 100% free of STD risk unless you never had sex with anyone. You should feel relief though that most STD infections are curable. Unless you are infected with herpes, HIV, or hepatitis C, the rest should be treatable or curable (either by treatment or by your own antibody. In HPV case, it's by your own antibody within 1-2 years, sometimes take longer)
2. genital wart HPV isnt related to inflamed/irritation skin. genital wart-HPV doesnt cause anything outside the wart spot itself.
3. Dont try to do anything on your genital area by yourself. Go ask an expert/dermatologist to make sure what you have and get it treated
4. Keep your chin up. Getting STD is pretty common nowadays, in the 21st century. Im quite sure at least 20% of guys who have been going with random girls during their youth would have at least once STD experience in his life. This doesn't include asymptomatic infections out there (people who got herpes/HPV but never show symptom, but they still able to infect their partner then their partner might show symptom afterward)
So basically you are not alone. Most people won't tell you they ever had/still have STD though, because they would feel pretty embarassed if they tell you that. Myself never admitted to my friends that i ever had STD, i only admitted it to my parents.
5. If you got anything outside hepatitis or herpes or HIV, don't feel too down. Most STDs are treatable and even if you get HPV, your antibody should be able to take care of it within 2 years time. Some people even only needed one single treatment and the wart never came back. You said you are still young and you regularly go out to gym, I would say you have a strong body so im quite sure even though you have HPV you can easily suppress the virus on your own.
6. Now that you have learned your lesson, move on. Don't do some stupid ridiculous revenge thing to the girl who you suspected gave you a STD, it wont solve anything. What's done is done. Now just learn how to eat healthy foods, go workout regularly, don't drink excessively, don't smoke, and don't have sex with random girls anymore. Stay faithful and choose your girlfriend wisely as well.
You will see your friends notice differences in your behavior but it's worth its price.

Ok
Na man I got tested for chlamydia and gon twice like a week and 2 weeks in that comes up right away and herpes I got tested for a month in and 50 percent of the time or something like that that's right also. I was neg for herpes in the igg test and hiv and syph, neg twice for gon and chlamydia too. Whatever I'm giving up dude I was gerttin ready to move outta my house with a few friends now I'm not no one knows what's wrong with me - my parents are so worried they're willing to do anything so I'm the same outgoing person I always this, this has destroyed me I want to press charges on this girl and ruin her life like she has ruined mine. I'm a mess
You need to chill out bro, nothing here suggests you have a std. for STD's such as chlam, gon, syph you should wait couple of weeks before testing and for HIV, Herpes you should wait three months to get a conclusive result. So your early testing could have just been a waste of money.
you mind has a lot of effect on your body. So try to relax, try talking to a experienced dermatologist about whats going on. Do a internet search for some nearby your location.
Cant really say anything, but ill tell you now your symptoms have nothing to do with HPV.
Other than that i cant say what else it is. I actually been having irritation myself lately, and it could be because of friction from the sex. Something like dermatitis.
I'm in so much pain
Anyone please
Anyone please

Nothing is getting betrer I can't even stand looking down there anymore its scary, idk if they're fordyce spots now that are so irritated or warts or herpes like wtf.
