Need help

I have fluid filled bumps on my shaft and it gets swollen from time to time and then it goes down to its normal size.  I have been taking antiviral medication  for the past 22 days, prescribed by my doctor. The bumps have not popped and haven't gone away.  I have been tested for every STD That they can  test for and they have all come back negative. My  Doctor gave me a prescription for some acid to get rid of the bumps, but they are not warts. I think it is an STD, it itches and tingles. But my doctor seems confused by what it is or could be. Is it hsv2 or is it HPV? Please help, it is irritating. Any ideas on what it could be?

I know there is no cure for it. However I just want this outbreak to go away. I've been taking acyclovir for 3 weeks now. Driving nothing but water and eating right. Shouldn't it have cleared up by now?

You cant cure virus (such as cold) like any bacterial infections. The only thing that you should do is to boost your immune systems to fight virus.

I got tested as soon as the outbreak showed  up.  My doctor seems disinterested in finding out what it is exactly. What else can I do?  It won't go away even with the antiviral medication.

As long as you tested negative and was tested in the appropriate time. Then that is not a STD continue working with your doctor.
