Scrotal problems
So, as brief as i can. Had a protected sexual encounter with a questionable partner 5 months ago. 24 hours later I had a small blister at the base of my penis. I have HSV1 for 20 years and had Valtrex on hand. Immediately took 1g and followed on with 500 mg 2 x day for 5 days. Condom didn't break. It was painless and held clear fluid and was completely gone within 2.5 days. I suspected HSV2. I contacted her and she's claiming to be tested clean. I read you have to wait for a blood test to accurately test for it so I waited until 9 weeks. Results were negative. The whole time I have had a persistent "prickly" feeling in my scrotum and at the area where it meets my thigh. Not itching. Not pain. It moves around daily. Non existent when I wake up. Seems better after a shower. At 19.5 weeks I had acute left testicular ache/pain. I started a 100 mg 2X daily regimin of Doxy and its better. I am lost as to what this can be. Can't afford to go to dr. at this time. Plan to retest for HSV2 at 6 months. Any thoughts?
