Tingling sensation feeling??

How long after you start to feel a tingling sensation feeling in your genital area does an outbreak occur??  Also what is the different between having the Herpes 1 in your genital area than having Herpes 2 in the area??  Thanks

I went to a doctor and they said it doesnt look like herpes at this point.  There is still red rashes around the ridge of my penis.  It has been like this going on a week.  the doctor gave me a steroid to take and some cream to put on the rash.  I notice some of the rash has left but not all of it.  it is still annoying and burns a little.  My question is if it is herpes symptoms how long would it stay there without turning into blisters??  Are herpe symptoms just red rashes that don't break out??  Is there any tests that could be taken that would verify that I do have it if there are no open blisters??  I have tested negative twice so far with the blood tests.

was just wondering if they did urine testing for your burning during urination that's all.  

if you had active symptoms they could culture them but it doesn't sound like your symptoms are herpes related.

yes it happened over three weeks ago.  So there is no way it would come up positive even if I did have it??  Yes they also did urine test too.  What does that mean??

far too early for herpes igg blood testing to detect a newly acquired infection if I recall from your other post.

they did urine testing too?

Also, forgot to mention I got all blood test done.  Igg for herpes.  It wasent a culture test.  Since it was so recent, is it impossible for the test to find the virus or is it just a possibility that the virus was not detected.  Thanks

I actually got the results back and I got tested for everything and it all came back negative but since it was so soon after my encounter I am still a little worried.  Here are my symptoms...a little tingling, some red irritation on the the ridge of my penis and a slight burning when I urinate but not very uncomfortable. It goes away soon.  I have had it before.  Any ideas what it could be??
