Burning Iching Scrodum

[Magnum0357]

I had a STD test done about 20 days ago now and everything came back negative. I Ran into my ex-WIFE 14 days ago And had protective sex with her . I got my test results back 2 days before we ran into each other at the bar. I used a condome just because i do every time, after we have been divorced . She informed me the next morning after words she had Contracted Herpes I freaked out! I got Up washed off with soap Hot water Hydro peroxide and used rubbing alcahol on my scrudom and the surounding Areas! I started to ich and a rash on my scrodom the morning she told me she had it. It's been 14 days sense i slept with her and i still have that rash and im still itching down there. But i have been washing and using hydro/Rubbing alcahol ever sense that day. Could the rubbing alcahol and hydro peroxide cause a red rash on my scrodum? I'm getting tested tommorrow again for HSV-2 in the morning. just wanted some feed back and maybe a little insurance it isnt herpes. There are no red Bumbs no blisters no sores down there. it just burns and itches

ok i have a question ? Can a topical steroid make HSV-2 herpes worse if one does have it?
Thanks

as I already said, you won't have herpes symptoms show up the next morning after sex. odds are that you don't have herpes causing your symptoms. no tea tree oil either dear - it's a known irritant and you've already irritated the heck out of your nether regions with everything else you've already used down there!!

if your symptoms get worse while using the topical steroid/antifungal, return to be seen again since sometimes folks have such sensitive skin that it can cause pain/rashes instead of taking care of them but certainly give it a few days to start to work.

as I said, the odds of contracting your ex's genital herpes from a one time protected encounter are incredibly low.

Also, if she was having an outbreak when u guys had ur encounter-whether u used a condom or not- ur chances of catching it are very high. If she is having no symptoms at all then ur chances are very low. My husband and I have been together almost 2 years and between protected and unprotected sex, as long as there were no signs of an outbreak, it hasn't been spread to the one who isn't infected. Just a little good news for ya =)

As a matter of fact, signs of HSV2 can show up ad early as 14 days after the contact was made. But its also possible that they may not show up for a long time. They will never show up the next day. The only positive way u can get a good test (if not in the middle of an outbreak) is to have a blood test done. And yes, grace is correct, stop washing urself with peroxide and alocohol. Makes me hurt just thinking about it.

went and seen my doctor the other she said. It's not herpes! and would not run another std test because i had one done less than a 2 weeks prior to the rash. I may have to go get a second oppinion on it though and get retested at another clinic. still no blisters/sores in that area just bunring hot and warm to touch. she said it was a yeast infection. She started me on an anti fungal cream with a steroid in it. i have try'd tea tre oil as well . any suggestions? And thanks for answering and talking Grace.
