Dry PENIS!!!

I've had unprotected oral sex but protected intercourse with another 2 weeks ago.
I started having blisters on my fingers that itch a bit and isn't really painful, and I immediately thought about Whitlow but i went to see a doctor and she examined it saying it's a common blister and I got a blood test for HSV, Gonorrhea (swap test), Syphilis, HIV and Herpes.  Results will be out next week

This morning i woke up to find some red marks on the head of my penis but after peeing and showering they disappeared immediately.  Is it genital herpes? but for it to disappear like that? My penis do feel warm as well and looks very dry but not the burning sensation talked about.

Also, I would like to add that I have been having anxiety pangs due to the unprotected sex 2 weeks ago... (stupid of me).  Sleeplessness is making me very tired and depressed as well.

Could anyone make sense of what I'm feeling?

Please advice...

Oh and you'd only get sores at the site you were infected - if you had oral herpes, you'd only get sores in that area.  If you had genital herpes, you'd get sores in that area.  Its very rare to get herpes on your hands.

There is no std that can make your penis shrivel or even look shriveled - that must be psychological.

Herpes causes blisters or lesions, sometimes paper-cut like sores.  You'd get symptoms within 2-20 days most likely, and will show up on a blood test within 4 months.

No, herpes wouldn't disappear that fast.  I'd wonder if you have some kind of fungal infection everywhere.

Wait for your results to come in, and talk to your doctor about a fungal infection or even some form of dermatitis.
