Looking for piece of mind WRT STDs

[nufc]

Hello Dr. Rockoff,

I previously asked Dr Handsfield about my current situation, and he advised that you might be able to help also.
The posts i had with him can be found at: http://www.medhelp.org/posts/show/552203

The entire story is there if you wish to read it, but to cut a long story short, in early december i had protected intercourse where the condom slipped off only for a few moments. I also had unprotected oral sex for a few minutes, followed by protected sex at the end of may, and finally had protected sex at the start of june (all different partners).
Last sunday i started to feel a slight tingle at the end of my penis, no pain on urination (although it felt slightly strange and took a while to get started occasionally for next few days).

I have been very paranoid and stressed out about STDs, had HIV/gonorrhoea/chlamydia tests in early may which came back negative. My current concern is these but mainly genital herpes, I have uploaded a few photos which i was hoping you would be so kind to view and advise on. These can be found at http://s282.photobucket.com/albums/kk248/nufc_album/

I have had brown mole/beauty spot-like marks that have developed over the past year or so, what could they be due to. Also, as you will see from the photos, I have a few white bumps, which could just be normal follicles that are slightly raised, but i do not remember seeing some of them, however they do not hurt, and since sunday hav not changed, burst or scabbed in any way. Also the left side of the lips of the penis appears to have a region thats ever so slightly darker,& inside the urethra, it looks like theres some dark blue/purple colouration.

I also feel tired a lot of the time, but i am hoping this is just from stress(thinking i hav stds!).I tried to get to an std clinic today but they were full and am going on holiday sunday morning, so was hoping u cud comment on my situation as i would like some peace of mind before leaving! Any help is greatly appreciated!

Your photos were not visible, because Photobucket said they "violated their terms of use."

I agree with Dr. Handsfield.  Your symptoms and signs do not suggest herpes.  They sound like normal penis variants plus anxiety.  Perhaps another visit to the clinic for more reassurance may help.  At some point you may want to accept it.

Best.

ok, thank you for your reply, i have begun panicking even more, as i still have the tingling that feels generally towards the top of the penis. i also have a couple of clusters of flesh colour bumps at the top of my penis, sort of just as the foreskin folds over. they are very tiny (covering about 2.5-3 cms squared, with at least 20-30), they are too tiny to try and burst tho. when touching them they do not hurt though i cannot tell if they are blisters or not, i was starting to believe herpes was not a possibility until i looked at them again.

i noticed them 8 days ago, if they started to form 8 days ago would they have become noticable painful blisters by now? or would they have changed much? i woke up last sunday with tingling and noticed them.
i am hopefully getting access to a clinic tomorrow morning but looking for reassurance until then, would tingling occur for approx 8 days straight during a primary outbreak?

Ps. they look similar to this case in the following link:

Same type of position and everything, however the area now appears red after trying to check if they are blisters, again they do not seem to burst and have not seen any fluid after 9 days, is this anything to worry about? Thanks again

Hi again Dr Rockoff, do not worry about the previous posts I have made, as i am sure they were nothing serious and possibly due to anxiety. I have just returned from holiday, before I left i visited an std clinic, where I had any abnormalities checked out and I was told nothing looked to be anything serious, I then had a swab taken, followed by a blood test for HIV/syphillis (probably not necessary). I showed them a rash I had in my right groin fold, for which they gave me daktakort cream.

When I was on holiday, the tingling that has been present on/off for past 17 days still remained, and I was drinking a lot, but when I wasnt, I would feel a very slight stinging sensation in the head of my penis every so often, not last anymore than a second or two. I woke up this morning to see a noticable rash on the glans of my penis, and two smaller rashes on my foreskin just below the head.

The glans has seemed slighly inflamed before at various points over the past number of months, but not as noticable as today. I should add that I have been checking my penis fairly regularly recently,but I do not specifically wash under foreskin when i shower, is it possible it could simply be due to a fungal infection or irritation from checking constantly?

I asked about herpes testing at the clinic but they said they could not do any testing unless there were blisters or ulcers.

Could you possibly check out some photos again and see if it is anything serious? They are at the same address: http://s282.photobucket.com/albums/kk248/nufc_album/

Thank you again Dr

Apologies, the pictures appear to have been removed again, I have tried to more sites with 3 fairly clear pictures, so if you could try either of these two sites it would be much appreciated:

Also, following urination this morning I had a bit of cloudy discharge, and throughout the day I have noticed a residue of something when I go for any further urination, so there probably is something causing this, but I have had no sores or blisters, the inflammation on the right side has gone since taking those pictures, and the inflammation on the glans appears to be the normal bumps on the head, but just red and inflamed. Any advice would be great, as I have already had a swab taken last week to test for everything but herpes and they said if they didnt get back to me within 2-3 weeks that everything was normal.
