Marks on lower back and penis.

[Hobbes2k2]

Over 7 months ago, I thought I got herpes through unprotected sex.  I went to the doctor, he said I didn't have herpes, but I would get tested for other STDs.  My blood and urine tests showed negative, 2-3 months later I got more tests done.  Haven't gotten the results back yet.  I have a few scratches on my lower back, and one has a soft, red mark in the middle, not quite a scab.  I can't see it very clearly, because it is on my back.  On the shaft of my penis I have a dark purple spot, and above that a small, red line risen off the skin.  Don't ask why, but I think the purple spot and red line are a bruise and a scratch.  There is no pain when I poke the spot and scrach, or urinate, and there is some mild pain in the spot on my back.  My girlfriend got a cold sore a few days ago, but at the time I didn't have anything unusual on my body.

Tomorrow I am going to make an appointment to see my doctor, and get more tests done and see what he makes of my bruise and scratch..

The appointment with your Doctor is the best plan. Take care.

I have a dark, so very slightly raised, brownish mark in color at the very bottom of my penis shaft.  I noticed it several months ago and it seems to have gotton slightly bigger.  I've been touching it and now it seems to hurt a bit when touched.  It's probably half the size of my pinky fingernail and not exactly round.  What should I be looking for next?  And would there be any other symtoms if this was cancer?

It sounds like you are spending a lot of time poking and prodding and noticing things on your body?  Perhaps it's time to put the mirror away and find a new hobby?

When will you get the results back from your repeat herpes blood test?

I've just noticed some red dots on my thighs, which I think are from trying to shave, but it's been a while since I did it..
