In need of help

Hello,

I'm praying someone can help give me some help with trying to diagnose what I have.

On 4/26/14, I had exposure with women of unknown status. Mutual unprotected oral and possibly some genital rubbing but no penetration. Below is the timeline of events there after:

5/17/14- Red scaly mark on tip of penis
6/1/14 - Intense numbing, itching, and tingling All over body. Left arm numbness, flu like symptoms, itchy and puffy eyes, sore throat, mild fever, loss of apatite, sweaty throughout day, spleen pains, chest pains, and face and skin of body red. Red blotches appeared.

6/1 to 7/17/14 ( current)

Most of symptoms have eased but backpain and chest pain comes and goes. Penis is sore with low throbbing continously and texture rough with color now being a sickly pale. Little round " milky" semi sub epidermis bumps occur but disappear within  hours. Itching and sore testicles. No outbreak with blisters or pus as seen or described on the internet.

6 full std panels completed with last one being 7/14/14 including hsv 1gg 1 and 2 biokit.

Dermatologist said not herpes nor anything he believes std related

STD specialist believes it's my anxiety

Infectious Disease doctor cant pinpoint what it is and keeps referring back to negative tests and just tells me to come back in 2 months.

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Life 360,

Thank you for your response. I've had such high anxiety for the last 2 months and you have no idea how grateful I am for your input.

I'm 40 days away from the 4 month mark for herpes conclusive results and am praying for time to pass quickly so I can take the final tests.

Thank you for your help, it is greatly appreciated!

Hi, your symptoms do not appear related at all to a herpes ,but appears you had the flu. Some times first time infections do accompany body aches and fever but arm numbness and such are not herpes related but more of a pinched nerve. Any topical penis issues most often fungal related. It is rare for a herpes sore to appear on the head but more on the shaft.
