Hi
Three years ago i got thrush like symptoms on my penis after vigorous protected sex on a hot night. I put over the counter thrush cream on it and it got worse. The doctor gave me special cream and tablets thinking it was a bad a case of thrush. The symptoms then got even worse, my penis blew up like a balloon and my skin started to bleed and sores and smegma started to appear. The doctor then thought i might have herpes so he swabbed me, came back clear, at the same time he gave me meds for herpes that did nothing, then swabbed me again and still came back clear.
We then did a biopsy and the results for that said it could be herpes but they can not be sure, which was confusing.
So 2 months after this appeared it went away by itself.
Stupidly a month after they went away i applied more steroid cream to my penis because the skin looked cracked and i wanted to clear it up, and the whole thing started again and went away by itself.
4 months after the original outbreak i got a blood test and it came back all clear for herpes.
Mid last year a couple of times after sex redness would show up in the areas of the outbreak, but would go away when i put moisturizer on it, would vanish in less than half a day.
Lately this has been happening allot, one day my penis will be red and the next it wont,even the areas where the small sores were show up, and they only vanish very fast with moisturizer. It has been hot lately, i think that's what triggers it.
So could this still be herpes, or something else like a skin condition?
Thanks.
