Do I have Herpes

[needanswer2010]

I have always had cold sores/fever blisters.  So has my wife.  We have oral sex but never during outbreaks.  
We are monogomous and never had sexual encounter with HSV2.

One night I shaved pubic area, with a new razor.  That night I had itching, and next morning woke up with a red spot on the head of mypenis and red areas in nearby area under the head.  

I was not sure if this is an allergic reaction? or somethin else.  

It has never blistered like my mouth typcialy does, did generally itch but not really painful. like my mouth.  

Just don know whether to fear this or not.  I know I need to go get it checked out.  

Unless I got HSV2 from something else......what are the odds?  

Could this realistically be HSV1?????

hopefully you aren't using the same razor on your pubic hair that you are on your mouth.  as long as you aren't, no risk of transmission.

folliculitis is very common from shaving.  typically it goes away on its own with some tlc. follow up with your provider as needed.

also if either of you ever had partner prior to meeting each other, either of you could've had hsv2 and never knew it.  while it's on your mind, decide together if it's worth testing to rule out completely.

I have read conflicting info on infecting yourself.  So I hope you are right

Those with HSV1 infections are highly resistant if not immune to the same infection.  Hence why it is said you can't ping pong the virus back and forth.  

Chances are this might be a fungual infection and needs to be seem.  I would advise you to check a Dermatologist out.  They are pretty good with skin issues.  So they can tell with some easy.  

You wouldn't have gotten HSV-2 without having sexual contact with another person.  It has to be transmitted skin-to-skin contact.  Take a look over http://www.westoverheights.com/ for some more great information.
