Burning Urethra/Wrinkly Glans/Swollen Meatus
I have been experiencing numerous symptoms since a brief encounter consisting of unprotected oral and protected vaginal sex on February 20th.
Day after encounter:
Itchy mons pubis
Day 2-3:
The tip of my penis felt numb. I'm pretty sure I felt tingling at the base of the scrotum, which may or may not be irrelevant.
Days 4-12:
The tingling in my urethra turned into continuous burning--not any worse when urinating--which the doctor at CityMD didn't have much to say about.
Small papules formed on my upper inner thighs. The doctor prescribed me hydrocortisone, which has been somewhat helpful. My thighs still feel chaffed sometimes, but this could be unrelated.
My scrotum was bright red and scaly. A different doctor (at a different CityMD) prescribed econazole, which has been fairly helpful.
Days 13-17 (current day):
The burning in my urethra has turned into more of an "ache", and has become more intermittent.
My tailbone just recently started aching, and I have been constipated, but both of these things could be irrelevant.
Throughout all of this I have had an inflamed/swollen meatus, a wrinkly/shriveled glans, and particularly dribbly clear pee left over when I go to the bathroom. If the dribbly clear pee is considered discharge it is watery odorless discharge.
My fear has been that the symptoms not explainable by the fungal infection are due to an atypical presentation of HSV-1 or HSV-2, or perhaps some other virus. There have not been any lesions, but the tingling testicles early on and the current tailbone (proximal to the sacral ganglia?) pain seem like they could plausibly be nerve-related.
I have also read about other things, like Mycoplasma genitalium and Trichomoniasis. I don't know if these possibilities are worth exploring or not. I am pretty sure I want a type specific IGG test for herpes 1 & 2 in any case. Could this somehow be prostate related?
One more thing: While I have not gotten any results back form my full panel STD test at CityMD, I am pretty it'll come up clean. My partner from the 20th had clean results. Also, for what it's worth, my urinalysis didn't show anything obvious at CityMD. I have not taken any antibiotics.

Was it Herpes? I have absolutely every single symptom and need to know what it is? I think its also a mystery virus, but need to know if you still have it or did it go away. I am losing my mind.
Please let me know what worked for you. Please

Why did my post get no love?!?! I'm still feeling strange symptoms. The tailbone pain is basically gone. The sensations in the tip of the penis are intermittent. The only thing that continues to bother me is the hot/burning feeling in my thighs, with diffuse papules, which, I should add, don't look like herpes. The dermatologist said it was external yeast and gave me some econazole nitrate or however you spell that. The urologist said it was prostatitis but didn't see a point in trying to treat it with an aggressive course of antibiotics, unless down the road I felt it was really necessary..
I have both internal and external symptoms. I wonder if they have a common origin.
I took an IGG at 4 weeks that came back negative for both HSV-1 and HSV-2. I'm going to take another at 3 months.
I think this is a mystery virus..
