important question

Why are there SOO many people on this board that have constant symptoms of something yet they don't get the obvious lesions that crust over and heal but they have the painful skin and nerve pain that NEVER goes away and nobody can help them. No doctor no specialist nothing they all treat you like its nothing and don't care about how much pain you're in or if you tell them "this looks different and its not going away, it didn't look like this before". Is everyone on here a hypochondriac fearing std's making symptoms up themselves? Lol like honestly is It bc people obsess and get scared after they make a mistake and regret it which causes weird stuff to manifest on your body? Cause I've honestly never examined my penis until I made a mistake and that's all I do now is think about it ALL day long wondering why I'm in pain and why my skin looks different, almost raw and sticky feeling like I could press the skin together and it would stick. I just don't get it at all makes no sense never heard of anyone going through this ever until I went on this website. Most depressing thing that can happen to a person.

I'm so sorry man everyone makes mistakes including me. Is ccps cureable? And I did have 2 sports hernia surgeries when I was 10 and 12 I am 21 now and I noticed when I workout and get my mind off things the pain and stuff seems to go away. I have noticed I favor walking so my penis doesn't hit my boxers and I clench my muscles. I used to get shooting pains in my abdomen and groins sometimes after my hernia surgeries, could it have something bc of that? I thought I had another hernia a little ways back but just forgot about it. Maybe all the stress after my "mistake" to that region made this underlying issue come out? I have no ideaaa.

I've been dealing with a lot of unexplainable symptoms as well. Unfortunately my horrible mistake has cost me my marriage and my family and I'm hoping that whatever I may have hasn't been given to my wife the one time we had sex during this time. Talk to your urologist tomorrow about CPPS. If you haven't researched it yet take a look. My urologist believes that is what I have been experiencing. You basically tense up all the muscles in that area without really knowing that your doing it and it causes urethtral pains due to inflammation. This affects your urine stream as well as ejaculation issues. I too have never had any issue with burning during urination. I hope that is a plus when it comes to herpes but who really knows when it comes to herpes. I will be going in for my 12 week HSV2 test at the end of next week. I pray to God that it is negative but with all of my research on this site it seems that some people have it and may not show antibodies for up to 6 months. This is the darkest time in my life. I can not believe that one drunken night has caused a lifetime of hurt for me and others. My life is all but over because of this. Good luck  tomorrow.

1)My skin feels raw and irritated all over. 2) the skin has literally changed its almost thinner and it feels sticky if I squeeze the skin together it like sticks and shrivels up never was like that was smooth before 3) hurts when I walk esp going upstairs and I get stinging feelings on inside of my thighs sometimes down to my feet 4) skin irritation has caused the fordyce to look more noticeable and inflamed 5) if I happen to have to "relieve" myself(masterbation) to keeo my sanity the foreskin and head gets extremely red like fire red and lotion and stuff irritates it really bad 5) when I pee now it dribbles and I can never get it all out same with ejaculation 6) the urethra looks like it has almost enlarged in size and looks very irritated at all times (stings) doesn't burn to pee though, 7) I've recently had groin pains to but I'm thinking most of the body aches have to do with anxiety and stress I've been extremely stressed and scared. I've been looking into some diagnosis that could maybe be it, Is prostatis possible? I'm just really confused.

The thing is how could any of this be happening when all I did was have unprotected and up to this point due to testing have no std? Did my mind and worries make me sick? I know girl parts are more fragile then guys are with yeast and bv and all that but the thing is I had unprotected sex one time and I've been suffering for 3 months. I can't go 1 and a half yrs like this I need my life back bc I can't function. Like literally I would do anything be myself again. I know your just here for herpes diagnosis but honestly what do u think could possibly be ailing me from all my symptoms ill list them to you okay thank you so much I have a urologist appt tomorrow btw

actually  I had genital issues for 1 1/2 years before I found out what was going on. They lasted for 4 years total almost non-stop and still are an issue periodically. they have nothing to do with my genital herpes.  I was never depressed or scared over them though I was p.o'd that I was thinking of my genitals 24/7/365!  I hauled my butt to a doctor every single month for years to deal with it until I got answers and found a treatment that works.

the biopsy would show any skin changes and often is fairly  helpful except for when it just shows general inflammation - then you still have to get to the bottom of what is causing the inflammation.

I know the needle is probably the worst thing ever btw for the biopsy. What does the biopsy show? Can it show hpv and all that?
