I don't believe that herpes symptoms would show up on your scrotum that quickly, no. It could be many things - sensitivity to something, fungal infection, irritation from some contact. Don't know, but unlikely HSV
This is my last post on this thread, best of luck to you!

I think that would be quite unusual, I can't tell you it is impossible, just highly unlikely. I'm not clear what that might be.

Sorry to trouble you again. I was a bit stressed and failed to clarify a few things in my original question. Here are some more details. I was previously tested negative or HSV (1&2) about 18 months ago. My symptoms did appear less than 24 hours after sex. What troubled me most was they appeared on my scrotum, which although I used a condom, was obviously not covered by it. Could it even be possible for new herpes symptoms to appear within 24 hours and if not, any idea what they could be?
Thank you for your time
the incubation period from infection to herpes symptoms is 2-10 days, on average. Whatever symptoms you might be having, I doubt they are due to new infection with herpes.
