Concerning spot
by state45, Jul 21, 2008 02:12PM
Hey guys, I'm new to this forum but have read around a little bit before.
I've had a few partners for receiving head but none for sex until previously. She was my first and we had unprotected sex. She seemed like kind of a ***** but, knowing this, I still went ahead. She claims she is clean to this day and had tests done way after the fact.
This is what concerns me - I have a little red splotch, bump, mark, circular thing, on the "ring" of my penis. It looks pink, red, white, all of the above at different times. If I masturbate it looks pinkish and if it's after, it looks red. If I can leave it alone for a while it almost turns to normal skin color again.
It has no sensation to it, i.e. no burning, tingling, itching, any of the above. It's not a blister, although when I did try to pop it when it was white, it did scab over and I peeled the scab after I masturbated.
Other times, like right now, I can barely notice it's there. In the direct light though, it does look a tad red. Also, I can't tell if it's a wart or not - but it's not callousy or dry.
Thanks.

Should this continue - see your provider for proper evaluation.

Anyway, she claims she's clean and if we did it twice and she gave me head a few times then I think I'd be pretty clean myself.
When it's barely noticeable it just looks like it's lighter skin than the ring. Barely noticeable and hardly different from the other little bumps down there (which I'm drawing a blank no the name now).
Thanks again.
Also, someone who does not have an std is "std free" or "negative." "Clean people" shower.
And please - be careful of using the word you chose to describe her. If you think that of her, and had sex with her, what does that make you? ;)

I plan on getting checked when I grow a pair lol. Really though, I'm going to do it in a few weeks probably when it's free at the med clinic at school.
It was a bad choice for me, and yesss, I have learned my lesson.
When you go in a few weeks, have them do a type specific herpes IgG blood test. Be prepared that your symptoms might not be there in a few weeks, though.

I'll keep that in mind. I had read on the internet that the sores would be there only for small periods (as in less than a few weeks like mine) before they left. I had also read that they would hurt, first off and foremost. Mine doesn't hurt or itch or do anything. It's just a "discolored" pretty much patch. I was taking a look at it while I was taking a leak and noticed that there is almost a really small lump if you spread the skin out real far.
It's weird that it changes color. That to me makes me think it's almost just a scar.
We can't diagnose you over the internet.

Any more advice?
It could be warts, but it could be normal skin variations.
Just see your doctor or go to an std clinic.

I do need to get it checked out soon and will once I get down to school. I read that 60% of people will get it from a partner that has it. If she actually did test clean then I'm good. We had intercourse twice and, technically by the odds (I do know the logistics of it), then even if it was dormant in me, she technically still would have gotten it.
Regardless, thanks for the help and if I remember, I'll post back with my findings.
