Herpes/friction issue/fungal infection?
ok this is a very confusing one,,
male 31 very sexually active
so i left a 2 year relationship and started dating a long time friend of mine,,with in the first month we had sex many times but this one time i had noticed a rather large cut on the left side of my penis shaft it was only alittle painful to touch (obviously its an open cut) wasnt there befor,,so i freaked out and went to the doctors i had every STD test done even went for my hiv/aids blood work all came back clear,,i had the swab test done on the scab of the cut,,now i know if it were herpes it takes some time to show up in the blood and if healing may not show up on the swab culture test,,so i let that heal,,then about a month later i awoke to me jerking off in my sleep and where the skin had healed there were more cuts directly around the rim of the first cut,,(could have been re-opening the cut?) ,, so freaked out again i went back to the doctors but they would not re test me so that healed, i asked my gf who knew what was going on the hole time if she ever had problems,,she had not,,but i told her just to be on the safe side to go get tested as well,,now if i got it from her even if she has no symptoms it still should have showed up on her test after having it for a while,,if she had it that is?..her test came back negitive as well,,so another month later something happened in the same spot it started to get intchy and got progressively worse over two weeks untill i scratched so much it became raw and red i caused about 3 small cuts that scabed over right away ,,in the cases of the cuts right from the begining i never saw them as blisters so never saw any fluid come from them,,and i sought out two other doctors one had told me it was damaged skin and not to masturbate for a while,,the other said it might have been a fungal infection but is sending me to a dermatologist i have noticed that even after healing if i jerk off to much it will start to bother me,,any one got any idea's,,at this point i dont even care ive already gone thru so much,,iam just as lost as the doctors,,in the first two cases there was no pain or symptoms ,,never pain during urination ,,

no they have not run that test yet,,the last doctor i saw didnt even think about it and i was unaware of how to explain all my symptoms,,but i am gonna ask for that next time i go in and i can explain it better now
hey grace its been a long time :P hope all is well with you :)
well its now been over a year now,,still hopping from doctor to doctor,,
no diagnoses yet, my family doc put me on an emergency list to walk right in when i have the symptoms(blisters),,that was before december,,go figure now it completely stops for 3 months, i just had an outbreak of the blisters but they were so small i didnt even see them till they formed a scab,hope i dont have to wait another 3 /4 months :P
iam starting to get worried now though,,i think my body is taking serious damage now! this is whats happening to me now
almost constant pain in my prostate
almost constant pain in my left testicle
an everyday off and on itch on the penis
off and on pain in my perineum
sounds like epididymitis and possibly prostatis (but prostatis dont cause blisters?),this has been going on for 6/7 months
i have a feeling that this ether happened because of hsv-2 or trauma
it says if you get an infection or hsv that they can cause this
my blood work showed no sign of infection, i dont knwo what that means since they can check my blood for hsv, since we cant test for that were i am,i know that these symptoms can happen totaly unrelated to hsv,,but the more time goes on the more i think it is,,what are the odds that i happen to have a local infection that last this long or exceama down there,as well as epididymitis and prostate problems,seems likely that its all caused from hsv, oh well on to a new doctor yet again,,sigh,,well again thanks for all your help from before :) ,,you dont have to add any thing to this if you dont want to,,just thought id shoot you an update after a year :)

the symptoms you describe do not sound herpes related.
it's unfortunate that no one ever takes the time to tell us how freaking common herpes is both orally and genitally so that when faced with something like this, we don't panic so much :( Just glad you found this forum to get accurate info instead of some of those forums where they tell everyone they have herpes and tell them that their world is over.
hopefully you get the supplies to do home swabbing so you can get a better idea of if this is herpes or not so your mind can move forward :)

ya as i told her,,she seems to be in denial about the possible out come,,iam waiting for the blisters to return again and then get a good culture sample done,,,ive noticed something may be completely unrelated (iam not sure) but about two weeks ago after my last visit to the doctors i noticed my anal Sphincter had started to get tighter and tighter until it hurt to pass gas and stool (no blood or anything coming out)two nights ago i got a sharp pain so intense it shot right up inside my lower abdomen like if i were to be kicked very hard in the testicles it was so bad that i thought i might have to go to the hospital,but it passed,i thought the problem was from the testicles but last night i noticed pain in the perineum when i put pressure on it , immediately my anal Sphincter loosened up and passed gas right away with ease,,iam curious to know if this might have any connection with blisters and burning sensation,,i think the possibilities are "prostatitis" "yeast infection" "Hsv-2" "cancer" do you agree with any of that ? ,,,,and i would like to say thank you so much for all the conversations we have had no matter what happens even though i dont know you, you have been the only person helping me,even more then my doctors,, if it wasnt for you i might have ended my life out of anger and depression
your former partner should've been given type specific herpes igg blood testing, not swabs when no symptoms present.

Herpes spreads by oral, vaginal and anal sex.
Herpes sores blister, then burst, scab and heal.
STIs are the most common cause of genital sores.
Millions of people are diagnosed with STDs in the U.S. each year.
STDs can't be transmitted by casual contact, like hugging or touching.
Syphilis is an STD that is transmitted by oral, genital and anal sex.
you and your partner at this point should pursue type specific herpes igg blood testing to see who has what for starters.
also start being nicer to the lil guy and use a good sex lube for masturbation! Even though you might have never had issues in the past, as we age, our skin becomes thinner and needs to be treated more kindly :)
