Burning Iching Scrodum

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

you can't get a WB until at least 4 months after the encounter. at this point, just repeat the hsv2 igg test you had done this time at the appropriate time and go from there.

your hsv1 igg was positive which you already knew you had due to your history of cold sores.  no significance at all to the numeric result other than if it's positive or negative.

you need to wait to test for std's in general. you can test for chlamydia and gonorrhea anytime after 1week post encounter. syphilis after 6 weeks. herpes, hiv and hepatitis after 3 months.  testing earlier than those times can result in false negatives.
