Hi, I've had this for at least 2 months.. figured it would go away by now. It doesn't hurt or itch but it's starting to worry me a bit now. Why isn't it healing, disappearing? Some times it can look a bit inflamed, others it just looks like dry skin. Is it a blister? Could it be normal friction burn taking it's time to heal?
- I haven't had unprotected sex
- Unprotected BJ over a year ago, can't be that surely?
One last thing, my mother has psoriasis, I have never had it, nor has my sister or anyone else in my family.

one more pic which shows more redness
Hmm.... I would request to be tested for both HSV 1 & 2. herpes cannoresent itself as this looks and for some, they don't experience itching or pain. Have you been under stress as of late? Also, condoms don't provide full protection, as it doesn't cover the entire genital region, it it's still possible.
Ahh really? god damn
Yeah i've been a bit ill + stressed lately. Last sexual contact was over a year ago, can it remain dormant that long? 14+ months?
can i get some more replies? to say i'm severely depressed now is an understatement
with this presumption that it's herpes
- there was no rash/mark/redness untill about 2-3 months ago which is over a year since last sexual contact, can it remain dormant that long?
- i have felt a bit ill lately
- if i rub the 'sore' a little white stuff comes off, dunno if it's skin or residue from it
also remained pretty much the same for 2 months, not healing , crusting.. whatever..
Yes it can, but I doubt you have it.
Do you have a pic of the sore w white stuff?
Do you have oral herpes?/
No reason to be depressed man, we all feel that way. Just got get tested and if it is positive, I promise it is not the end if the world.
Sorry, that was a comment for another post.. Disregard...
So you have no tingling or itching at all? It's not sore when you pick at it? Have you ever used your spit and masturbated?
I'm not sure if it's a sore actually, 'white stuff' only came off when my penis was wet and i rubbed the area. so not sure if it is just skin (it's dry and seemingly trying to heal), or some kind of residue. I'm not sure.
No I don't have oral herpes or never had it. One last thing, if it is herpes, wouldn't it have gone or changed it's appearance by now? it's looked pretty much the same for 2 months now and it doesn't hurt or itch at all.
No, I've heard of others having it stick around for awhile, but that's not very common. I think the only peace of mind you'll get, is if you go get tested.
Some kind of eczema is always a possibility. Make a run to the GUM clinic.
In the meatine, stop stressing.. It's probably nothing serious. When can you go to the doctor?
How long have you been circumsiced?
