Penis Problem! Red Meatus And Rash! Scared Please Help!
Ok. My name is Steven and about a few months ago, I receieved oral sex from an unknown partner. Later on after this I got a few pimple/blister like bumps on my Penis And the top of my nutsack by my pubic hair. After awhile the bumps went away and came back maybe once more after that. My Meatus I guess you call it has a little red bump on it And tends to feel pain once in awhile. It doesnt hurt when I pee. But sometimes my testiculs feel swollen and hurt a little when I adjust them. I have minor itchin problems. I recently came down with a chest cold and now I have a rash that is apprearing on my face. It looks like a allergic reaction but under my eyelids I a little white bump on each one. I am to scared to go to a doctor and I am very afriad of causing my wife to have these sympthoms also. Please help me..I feel like my life is over.and I am way to afraid to tell my wife about this for the sake of her leaving me with our daughter..please help...
Steven!

Based on your initial description--I have not read all the follow-up comments--you probably have genital herpes. Since you suspect it was acquired by oral sex, it's more likely HSV-1 than HSV-2, in which case you likely won't have a lot of recurrent outbreaks. In any case, you need to see a health care provider who understands STDs.

another I may add while I am reading other people's posts..When I did have those pimples on my genitals I popped them and blood came out. I read before with herpes that these pimples go away on there own in about 2weeks but I still have one on my pubic hair regign, that has not gone away for awhile. Is this still possible to be there for so long? And also the little real small pimple i have along by the meatus has not gone away for about a couple of months? should it have?
It's kind of hard for us to answer these questions in specific for you. We are not doctors.. We come on this forum because we are knowledgable on certain things... What you keep asking is something to be answered by a doctor.
I did my best at answering your questions, now the rest is up to you in getting it checked out. It's better to get it checked NOW before they go away, because they just take a swab of the area and send it out, now, when it goes away, and you dont have any more symptoms, then it's harder to detect. They have to draw blood and not all free clinics test for STD's other than HIV/AIDS because it costs more.
If it's not herpes, then great, it could just be a rash by coinsidence. You described whats going on, and I did my best. Stop trying to contradict it because it's not getting you anywhere. You need to get a doctors diagnosis, I can only give you an IDEA of what it could be! You came on here for help/advice.. you got it. There is nothing more we could do for you...
Except give you advice on talking to your wife. :-)
Good luck!

I have another question regarding my first post.. I said before that I had a rash but it seems to be going away now. I never had this rash on my body only on my face. I have a chest cold right now so I may think that was the cause of my rash. When I went to the doctor a few days back, he seemed to not be to bothered by it..Just gave me some cortozon cream or however you spell it..A rash has nothing to do with an std right? As you said before I might have HSV1 and does that cause a rash?
You made a mistake. The fact that you are admitting this is a great step. Now you have to do whatever you can to fix it. Start by fixing YOU. Go to the ER and get it checked out since it is going to drive you nuts waiting. Then you can go from there.
Good Luck and keep us posted.

im seriously really scared now...seems like my penis is dead..i mean i know its not but the way i feel inside i feel so down..dont know how to take it but i just keep looking at myself and feel like crying..thinking about going to the er and see what they say..why did i have to go and be so dumb.=(
I sorta skimmed through reading all the messages, but it definately does NOT sound like HPV.. HPV dosnt give off a rash, any symptoms, it's VERY contagious, but you wouldnt break out. A few lil warts, and that's all it is. You get them taken off and you wont have another for years to come. HPV is transmitted through through vagina/penis contact. Not oraly.
It does sound like you have HSV though. Herpes can be contracted orally, and it's highly contagious. HSV 1 lives inside the mouth and can be contracted to your genitals.. then genitals to genitals, and genitals to mouth and so forth. HSV 2 is just contacted through intercourse.
I live in Orange County, so we're neighbors. :-) You can go to ANY walk in clinic and be seen within a few hours. Most places in the LA area dont even need your insurance. And you will sign a hippa form which is a confidentiality contract that means that NO one can access your records. They will call you if anything shows up..
like.. "Hi this is Sally from the clinic, your screening test showed up (positive for___) If you have any questions please come back and see the doctor" You'll only get the call if you have something.
Good luck with everything...

Jenni and Oceans>> you two were typically terrific! Great advice!
To the poster>> We can't make you fess up to your wife. That is a decision you will have to make on your own. But imagine this.. You continue to have sex with her, and the next thing you know, she is having symptoms. What if she became pregnant again? This could affect more people than just YOU.
Believe me, she would rather KNOW the truth!! The marriage obviously needs work. You wouldn't be having oral sex with total strangers if your marriage were healthy and strong. If you think you feel guilty now, just imagine how you will feel if your wife contracts something. You can do something now to prevent that from happening. At least make sure that you don't have anything before continuing to have unprotected sex with your wife again. And IF you do have something, please tell her the truth!! And don't do what we've seen a lot of men do and try to blame her when you know it's you! That is the WORST thing you could do. Not saying you would do that, but some people do.
So get tested, and also seek marriage counseling. You guys CAN work this out! The truth shall set you free!
Good luck to you! Sincerely!

Thanks for all of your replies..But I woke up today with another problem..Yesterday before I took a shower I masterbated and when I was about to orgasm I felt a sharp pain. Didnt think much of it and went on with the rest of the day. At night I took a look and my penis and on the shaft a little above the start of the head I see a little purple bruise! Is this due to the masterbation or is it also involved in all the sympthoms I announced earlier in this post? Any help would be greatly appreciated..And where in Los Angeles Are There Free Clinics For Me To Go To !!
Do you know of any walk-in clinics I can go to get tested? I Have Kaiser but I would like to just walk-in you know..To much hassle going throught the hospital.
I HAVE BEEN READING ABOUT HPV AND ALL OTHER STD'S FOR THE PAST 2 TO 3 MONTHS.IM NOT TO SURE BUT MOST LIKELY WITH THE SYMPTHOMS I HAVE I THINK IT MAY BE HPV...I DIDNT NOT HAVE VAGINAL SEX WITH THE OTHER WOMEN AND SHE WAS JUST A REGULAR FROM A BAR NOT A STRIPPER/HOOKER..RIGHT NOW I AM HAVING REAL SHARP PAINS TO THE TIP OF MY PENIS I HAVE NO BUMPS OR PIMPLES ON MY GENTIALS AS OF NOW..
IM NOT SURE..BUT IM GUESSING YEA..JUST MET THIS GIRL OFF THE STREET..DRANK A LITTLE AND GOT ORAL YOU KNOW..NEVER HEARD FROM HER AGAIN..AND YES IT IS GUILT..
TO ADD...I also dont enjoy oral sex anymore..Im guessing Its due to the bump that is along my pee hole which is the meatus i believe..Like i said before it dont hurt when i pee but only when i receive oral sex..im so scared..if i have anything i think i am going fall into serious depression or something..my whole life and family will be done with! =(

STDs can't be transmitted by casual contact, like hugging or touching.
Syphilis is an STD that is transmitted by oral, genital and anal sex.
Discharge often isn't normal, and could mean an infection or an STD.
Chlamydia, an STI, often has no symptoms, but must be treated.
Bumps in the genital area might be STDs, but are usually not serious.
