so 11 months ago I had an unprotected encounter. I didn’t suffer any symptoms for about 3 months after. I took 1g azithtomax in case asymptomatic chlamydia. soon after I got a red rash on my penis so I figured irritation. had irritation all the way until October. now 5 days I noticed these two dry spots that kinda popped up figured ingrown hair or irritated follicles. they didn’t itch or hurt until I started picking at them. now I’m suspecting this is my primary outbreak.
the circled one is the first one that healed since I quit picking at it.
anyone?
I am sorry, I wish I knew and could help you! It doesn’t look bad, but maybe you could get a blood test? Nothing looks oozy so IDK if they could do a swab.
Good luck!
Well thanks I appreciate you!
thank you for replying. it’s not a typical lesion which confuses me and yea It was never oozing and it would be too late for a swab now. I am getting a blood test after new years. just wanted some second opinions.
Aw, the hardest part really is the anxiety that accompanies the possibility. Please, keep us posted on your results! I will cross my fingers for you!
thank you. I will keep you posted.
hey quick update. I’m starting to think hpv. I inspected my scrotum closer and found small warts almost skin tag like but I’m pretty sure they were not there before. still taking blood test, but being almost 1 year and no real outbreak im suspecting hpv caused my balanitis irritation before.
it was a little hard taking the picture
any updates on your results?
its been three years, may i know how are you now? i mean is it herpes or is it normal? Hope you can reply
Hello, I came back to update. It was basically like a staph infection. All sti/std tests were negative. Needed topical antibiotic to clear up. Definitely from over examining and being anxious. Hopefully this helps someone.
