odds are this isn't herpes going on but obviously something is going on so it's best to follow up properly with your provider. I'd stop with the topical steroid at this point so that they get a better idea of what is going on.
thanks for the reply. Heres an update i went to the doctor today for a visual examination. Two doctors came and took a look both concluded HPV and genital herpes were not to blame. The one doctor seemed pretty confident that it was molluscum contagiosum(SP?) Im still not 100% convinced thats what it is. They say the marks can last for months but the appear to be diminishing. im going to a follow up in a week but if anyone else has any advice id appreciate it thanks.
it would be unusual for molluscum to show up in december, go away and now be back again.
if this goes away and comes back a 3rd time, perhaps a biopsy would be more helpful if they think that it's still molluscum then.
molluscum is pretty contagious. make sure you read on the web what you should be doing precaution wise if they didn't give you a pamphlet on it at the clinic.
So we got the blood tests back shes doesnt have herpes or hpv. There is still no itching and no pain. Ive been told by a doctor that its neither hpv nor herpes, yet i still cant help but worry myself. People i have talked to tell me this is nothing like herpes/ would you agree?
also i just noticed that some of the pimples that were on my penis have turned to dry skin, its not irritating me at all and doesnt hurt its just dry.
did you get tested for herpes to know your own status too?
