herpes or fungus infection?
I met a man on internet, and we had mutual masturbation. He put my penis with his and rubbed for about 10 seconds, and he jerked me off. He also licked my balls and the base of my shaft. No oral sex or other action. His semen may touched my penis.
On same day after that, I felt some tingling or burning around my penis. It occurred on the foreskin under the head. It was not itchy, not that hurt, but just mild irritating. I thought maybe he bruised my foreskin a little bit. However, that feeling continued. My foreskin under the head seemed a little red, and it was kind of sticky. My balls skin was also sticky. No itch or hurt, no blisters, but it seemed there were several very tiny bumps under the foreskin on the shaft under the head. They were firm, not itchy or hurt.
About 4 weeks after exposure, I saw my doctor, and he did blood test for herpes1/2,HepB, chlamydia, gonorrhea, etc. He said it was not like herpes. It looked like fungus infection. He prescribed Econazole Nitrate Cream for fungus infection. All tests came back negative except HSV1. But I have cold sore since I was a child.
After using the anti-fungus cream for 4 days, I did not see much improvement. My balls looked like shiny, and swelling a little. I saw another doctor, and he checked me over, and also said it was not like herpes. He prescribed Mometasone Furoate Cream USP 0.1% to reduce inflammation. He asked me to use both creams (for fungus and inflammation) at the same time.
I have been using both creams for 3 days now, but don't see any improvement. I am very desperate and think that I must got herpes 2 because it is not fungus infection for sure because the cream does not work. I know the blood test for herpes 2 was too early to be accurate. I have to wait for 3 more months.
Now is 1 month and 4 days after exposure. Everything is same: little bumps under the foreskin on my shaft, no change at all, irritating feeling and redness on foreskin and balls, no blisters or other stuff.
Could somebody analyze my case, and tell me:
1. Is it possible to be herpes 2 based on my symptoms, or syphilis(my doc did not do syphilis test for me) ?
2. What should I do now to clerify what is going on with me?
Thank you so much. I really appreciate your help.

no drinking vinegar doesn't help with anything. eating yogurt just helps to keep your intestinal flora healthy.
it's not unusual for the skin to look shiny with fungal infections or while treating them. if it's been a week and things don't look any different, follow up next week with your provider for further work up.

hey man, had a similar experience at my gym [read my posts]w/someone i met there mutual jerkoff and he licked my balls but no insertive oral and i didnt do any oral at all on him but we both had precum on our penis and were stroking each others. the next day [12 hours later] i noticed a discoloration on rim of penis head and have since gotten tiny bumps on head of my penis that sometomes feel like little bites or something and it tingles or twitches a little but not when im hard. idk..anyway they do seem to be getting a little better and i have had no blisters or sores anywhere. seen my doctor and also a urologist and both said its not an std and appeared normal. the thing is its not normal for me and i never had the bumps before. got tested at a week after and results all neg for gono,herpes,hiv and couple others. hope u r ok ive had a hell of a time trying to figure out whats going on with my stuff. was thinking it could be fungal also.??

Hey u can contact me here if u want about whatev. Im trying to figure this sh/# out so I can move on w/my life. Its crazy that Im even having to look at any of this stuff since I never do anything w/o condom or have sex w/strangers. This was an isolated incident and i never thought about getting std's from m/m since there was no insertive sex at all. I gotta say though that this forum has given me alot more knowledge on all of it. I pray alot and hope that I can have my 'normal' life back. Did u get any kind of like purplish red blood vessels along your penis head? Or any kind of bumps that pinch or anything on/around the head? Mine doesn't look that different or anything like when Im peeing next to someone at urinal its not obvious or anything but if I look closely I can see the little bumps and the tiny blood vessel looking discoloration around my head. Its only like 1/2 inch along the rim but it was never there before. Drs. just say it looks normal and idk where to go from here you know? Truly driving me f'ing crazy.
