Almost 7 weeks ago i had unprotected sex. Ever since then i have had a continuous burning feeling (with some days being better than others) in the frenulum/urethra area with a very small red patch with tiny bumps inside. I have had these marks since the encounter with no change. and about 3 weeks two bumps formed somewhere else but they have not scabbed/ulcered or anything just a slight pain. I took a full panel std test about a week after the encounter and was negative for everything. Ik that was too early to detect herpes but since the marks never change im assuming it might be some sort of thrush/candida? But can that happen anywhere but the head of the penis if im circumcised? The test also didnt include a test for trich could that be the cause of this? Any response of advice or similar situations would be appreciated thank u
the middle picture is where most of the issues has been that last picture occured after using clotrimazole cream which can cause spot like that i believe. The clotrimazole has possibly helped the middle spot go down a bit but nothing drastic very confused would appreciate any sort of help. i have also had pain in my butt and legs but nothing crazy and ik that can be a symptom of candida and herpes
I am fairly new to Genital Herpes.. from the looks of it, I’d say no.. but that’s going based of my experience & pictures I’ve seen.. BUT the only way to know for sure is to be tested. Hopefully it’s not & you won’t have to worry any longer!
i just want to add. a full std panel will not test for hsv (herpes) only blood looking for hsv and a swab on a sore will test for it.
im not sure this is what that is or not, my sores were painful and i couldnt walk. but im also a female and ours rub against lol sorry for the joke. i know this uncertainty feeling and im here if you need an ear.
my best advice GET TO YOUR DR and have them swab test the sores and or blood test for HSV, that will be the ONLY way of knowing for sure
best of luck to you!
ps. this “gift” sucks! so i hope you dont have to deal with it
the test included tests for hsv1 and 2 and is there even anything to swab?
anyone??
