redness,small bumps after 1st OB of H2

[scareddad01]

i was seen March 28th and told i have H2, and they proved it with a swab test the results were + H2 -H1 and that is it...so i am making my peace with that however now i am looking all the time, worryed that something is going to happen (OB #2) or whatever. my wife and i have talked aboout this and i most likly got it from her as one of her X's had it and did not know so i cant blame her or harbor any bad feeling for her, it is what it is, we are together and thats that..so that brings me to my question, because i am looking all the time and it always on my mind when do i start to worry that it is an OB and when do i just say it normail. i have been to the Dr. 3  X's and the derm. for a second look and both said "sop worrying so much and they did not see anything that they would raise an eyebrow at". but if i look real close i see small real small red bumps from time to time, they fade quickly and do not hert but in my mind i am always worrryied about it. and i am on 1gram daily of valtrex for suprshion. then sometimes i get redness around my "pee hole" and it wont last long but it is there and i dont know why. no pain just i see it and start to panic. is this normail i seam to have a hard time knowing what is and is not normail anymore and i am tired of worrying ALL the time i just want to be  normail again....no worrys just happy and married and family man, not worried about my penis ALL the time and guessing what that tingle or twitch is or worried why do i hurt or why do i feel this or that, always thinking the worst and not doing things that i love to do for fear of pissing off the H viris again..thanks for your input..

LOL thank you again! and go easy on callin' it a little guy!! LOL. us men are sensitive to words like that :) lol

odds are you are just paying a heck of a lot more attention to the lil guy lately and are noticing things that you never gave a 2nd thought to before this. It's a pretty normal reaction to having herpes.  

Don't let the "idea" having herpes get to you.  No reason not to go to the gym. unless you are having sex there, it's not an issue :)  Go , sweat ( ick ) and give yourself something to do besides think about your herpes!

Thank you for your responce Grace. is it normail to have these little issues down there? am i just noticing things that have always been there and happen to every/more men ? because i do look more now maybe i am more sensitive to the small things that happen even in a regular "un-diseased" penis? is this a regular reaction to a new HSV2 victim? how long is this "little skin disorder" going to mess with me....I JUST WANT TO BE ME AGAIN!!!  ( not yelling at you, just upset with this whole life changeing thing going on right now) before all of this i was COMPLETLY heathy. now i just feel yuk all the time. i want to go back to the GYM without worring if i am "heathy enough" to do it. sorry i dont mean to go on and on but i am just sooo  frustrated. Thanks Again..

has your wife been tested to know her status or are you both just assuming it came from her?

small red bumps that fade quickly aren't due to your hsv2.  

Your recurrences will be few and far between because you are on daily suppressive therapy. You really should be more surprised when you do get a recurrence than when you don't. My advice is - STOP LOOKING!!  It's not worth the stress!!!
