they can easily biopsy one of these and send to the lab if you ask them too. not near as painful as it sounds.
continue to follow up with a dermatologist to try to get better answers.
that is just it I have been see three times by two different people. I feel it is a mis-diagnosis since they say that these types of issues are based on matching visuals symptoms to known conditions. Doesnt seem very accurate. Thank you for your help.
you can't get a culture next week - far, far too late for it to be of any use.
this doesn't sound at all like herpes. be seen and get a proper exam and diagnosis.
it has been about 10 days now and the group of ten on penis and in pubic region is healing up now. the first layer of skin is gone on every bump. I used
imiquimod cream twice. I think this is what caused some burning and headaches.
Two new bumps appeared yesterday at the top of shaft near where the 10 are. They look the same size as a large zits. One popped during washing. Thick white liquid and a solid white piece came out. like a zit. Rash in groin is raw. first layer of skin is peeling off. I think from rubbing during walking.
I will be going to get a culture next week.
What does fluid look like in Herpes? is it white like this?
What tests do I need to take again?
Can anti bacterial cream be used on day when not using imiquimod?
herpes recurrences would be a single lesion, not multiple lesions like this.
only testing accurate 1 week post encounter is gonorrhea, chlamydia, ngu and trich.
many side effects from imiquimod cream :( You should've received a pamphlet with the medication listing them.
I've bee reading your post. You are very dedicated.
Since I did all my STD test about one week after my one night stand, are my results possiblly giving a false negitive? when do I re test?
Where is a good place to look for HSV pictures?
The rash in my groin is slightly ichy now and noticed a small core sore in mouth near bottom theeth. More tired then normal past two days. Are there side effects with Imiquimod cream?
what other things have similar symtoms to HSV?
How can I confirm if it is herpes? What makes you think it is not herpes? What symptoms am I not showing for herpes? The reason I thought it was not folliculitis is the appearance of the bumps on my penis.
I'd see a dermatologist at this point. MC wouldn't go away and then come back like this. Most likely it's folliculitis but I'd definitely go for a 2nd opinion.
