Hsv1/hsv2

Having a hard time finding info on this, hoping I can get some answers.
1. If one is hsv1 + (oral) and was to contract hsv2 genitally would the incubation time be different?
2.  Most site say by 10 days lesions appear for primary but is this scenario a primary outbreak?
3. Does herpes ever start out as a brown spot?
4. Is it rare for herpes to start out on the scrotum?

Definitely not hsv. So it doesn't change my opinion. I would see a dermatologist.
.the odds of contracting hsv from those activities is slim to none and far closer to none.

Oral and frottage with condom.
Saw a brown spot on right side of scrotum after 13 days. Picked open after a couple days.  Then 1 week later another brown spot on scrotum where shaft meets, then 1 week later another brown spot on the right side of scrotum.  I scratched the skin off all of the spots to the point where it scabbed.  Tested for all other std's at 4 weeks, all neg.
Does this change your opinion? What would be the brown spot?  It is flat inside the skin.  I believe the 3rd on was a hair.  Could me shaving my scrotum cause brown spots? I shaved before the first spot was found.

1. It could take a little longer. It could also be extremely mild or asymptomatic..which means no symptoms at all.

2.either way the vast majority of primary outbreaks will happen within 10 days.

3 no.

4. The scrotum is rarely infected due to the extremely thick skin.
