Confused, iv'e at 3 doctors, every one says something else

Hello, I'm pretty confused already lol, maybe you can help me better.

So two months ago I noticed about of couple of bumps at the base of my penis, they weren't sore or scratchy or anything, it became better with time, they became smaller, some dissapread but also 2-3 new ones appear around in every couple of weeks. after 8 weeks the last ones fade away and i have now only some flat red marks (like a scars) for one week already.Two days after they appear I went to urologist, he checked it and said that is nothing, probably rash from tight pants. it relaxed me but after 4 weeks most of them still were there, I wanted to be sure and i made two more appointments with two different demotorlgist. the appointments were only in the last week, 8 weeks after it started and when nothing much left, but i showed them also pictures from the beginning of it, one doctor that he's also venereologist said it was Molluscum Contagiosum and it already passed, today i went to another doctor (cause i had already appointment) and she thought it to be herpes, so I don't know what to think anymore, I should do blood test next week.

 

couple of points that might help

 

-The last time that i had sex was more than 4 weeks (32 days) before the outbreak , it was protected, also oral protected.

 

-I didn't have any of the symptoms of herpes for all this period, I did had a bit of throat pain for one day, two days before the outbreak, but it might was cause the wheatear, cause i ran outside while raining

 

-at the begging i pooped some of the bumps, it wasn't really painful, but bleed for couple of minutes and than become like a flat red wound (not bump anymore)

 

-to some bumps it taked different time to heal, some heal after week, some after 4 weeks.. in the last two weeks, the new bumps that appear were very small, and disappeared pretty quick (4-5 days)

 

Is it possible to have that long herpes outbreak (almost 9 weeks)? or it's possible that i had two outbreak in a row?      

 

I'll also post pics later, thanks

The first pic is from the first day, the seconed and the third are from couple of days after, the forth is from 8 days after, it looked diffrent couse the flash.

the last is from 8 weeks after, the red shiny mark are just flat scars, but you can see also two tiny ones that appear on the left side, they were the last ones..

get blood work to be sure. the test will only be able to tell you if you've had it up to six months. if so start with researching lysine supplement (walmart $4) vit c red algae and eating pineapple to lessen outbreaks. outbreaks can last days, weeks or months especially if it's the first one. sorry if my thoughts are a bit scattered

Definitely get a culture on your bumps. I. Seen three different doctors to who all said different things. You don't know till you get tested. Herpes is spread through skin to skin contact and even protected it's still a possibility to catch it just like any other std or a woman getting pregnant

Yeah I'll do the blood test anyway, shoud go in the day after tomorrow, btw how much time it takes to get the results ?

Whats give me hope is the bumps started more than 30 days after the sex, and from what i read it usually take 3 weeks max. Someone know if its true?

First outbreaks typically occur within the first week, up to 20 days. The IgG test should be done at 3+ months post-exposure.

Ok thank's, i just did the blood test, it's 14 weeks after the exposure today, i hope it'll be enough

8

Update: I got the result of the blood test today, they all negative, it probably was Molluscum Contagiosum..

but just to be sure, its better to do another test later on or its enough? i did the test 14 weeks after the exposure

14 weeks post-exposure should be fine for herpes, provided the test was for IgG (not IgM). How long did the bumps last? I think molluscum takes a little while to clear, if I'm not mistaken.

10

Yeah it was for IgG, and they test also for Igm,both negative..

the bumps last almost 9 weeks, but some of them heel after one month. I really dont sure what it was, it's looked molluscum  except that it heel faster than it should

11

so what was it ?

Hi Alex,
Had a similar blisters right now and it has been 4 months.
