Possible Herpes Infection
Hello everyone, late march I had a sexual encounter with another man i really didnt want to but he gave oral for about thirty seconds on my penis for less than a minute. He then gave me oral in my anus. I tried to give oral but was disgusted and immediately stopped. About two weeks after the incident i noticed a growth on the shaft of my penis which i thought was a wart but the doctor said it wasnt since i have had no other growths. Hower in May I started getting bug bites looking things on my butt that itched and i itched them raw about 12 of them they dis release liquid they never looked like blisters more like bug bites. I began to freak out and went to the doctor he examined them and he said they looked like bug bites. Since they have healed and have left horrible scarring. There was no pain until after i scrratched them off it wasnt terrible just uncomfortable when i sat. The doctor gave me antibiotics a surgical soap to wash and started me on anxiety meds since i was freaking out. I went for a second opinion and the doctor said deffinately not herpes just by looking at them. Two days ago i yet again woke up with two on my thigh and called the doctor, He very sternly said it is not herpes i saw you teo days ago and you were fine... Ill send over anti anxiety medication this is normal because i upped your dose of antidepressants, keep washing with the surgical soap. I have yet to have leaions on my groin or penis they are just on my butt. I am still really worried. I read online that hsv can look like bug bites. Do you think both these doctors could ve wrong?
Yeah the only thing is all the new lesions last less than two days :( by the time i setup an appointment they are gone. Also i know that i have hsv1 as i used to get cold sores as a kid.
My advice would be to go to planed parenthood or a clinic that deals with std's. Get a type specific igg blood test and a swab of any lesions that are present. Your risk was for hsv1 from oral sex. A test for syphilis wouldn't be a bad idea.
I think is best to ask your dr for a blood test or a swab of the liquid you mentioned. I am no doctor and Im a woman bit in my case the sores did start as little dpts in the skin and developed into small blisters and well grew per second (almost). I think a test should put ur mind at ease though.
