so ive had this white bump looking thing for a little while now i dont know when it came to be since i didnt notice for a while and so two other ones came up as well
ohh also no pain no itching no nothing ive had to itch once in a while but very rarely not sure if this is a cause i haven't had sex since jan of this year it was unprotected a couple weeks later is when i noticed that first bump on the side of my glans the big one
looks like it could be herpes virus. go to your doctor for a check up
I will be surprised if it is not Herpes. Please go to your GUM clinic and ask for a SWAP and IGM and IGG blood test for HSV1 and HSV2. If it is Herpes please note that by law you should inform current or any future intimate partners or you can risk getting sued for spreading infection. There is no cure for Herpes and condoms does not provide protection. You can also still be contagious even when you do not have symptoms. Please do not touch your genitals or wash your hand soon after as you can spread the virus to your fingers , mouth, eyes and different areas of the body. Pls update
They won't do IGG or IGM as it's not under the nhs they can do the swab pcr test though
Some of them will do it but yes normally they dont especially if they are not suspecting it or the patient isnt insisting on having the test. Unfortunately not including herpes on the standard STD check lead to increase in herpes , even children now have herpes. Herpes can cause complications specifically to babies , people with compromised immune system, auto immune diseases and risky for people with HIV.
i mean what else could it be? if its not herpes
Oh I have noticed that some contents of my reply are missing. I did post other possibilities. Dunno why it isnt showing? I will repost again if it will not show within 24 hrs
Whoops sorry Jose I confused you with another post. Please ignore the response above about a missing reply I personally think it is HSV 1 or 2. These air filled / puss filled bubbles look like herpes to me. Not easy to judge from pictures Cannot think of another possibility , dont think they are white heads etc Very typical herpes symptoms are present here but will still advise to have it tested and seen in person to confirm it
ive touched the bump gently to see if it was tender it seems to be hard and it dont act like a puss filled bump (big bump) i did not touch it directly with my hands just a cotton swab
Could you maybe contact your last partner and ask them if they have herpes?
When I went to my clinic recently I insisted on a blood test as well as a swab and they said they do not do a blood test you can only have this done privately. The reason for this is they don't believe in the accuracy of blood testing hence why they only use swab tests ie PCR
unfortunatly no i was traveling at the time and it was more of a one night stand so we never kept touch but that was the last time i had unprotected sex or any sexual activity because of the reason of idk whats going on with me im currently working and traveling alot so i just have time to rest
95% its herpes. sorry to say
IGG blood tests are accurate but the trouble is that anti bodies might take up to 6 months to show up in IGG blood tests as everyone's immune system reacts differently etc etc thus the test needs to be repeated unless you know when you were last exposed and then test after three months etc etc
I would still advise to test for Herpes Jose. Many people have different symptoms for herpes as everyone's immune system and body is different. Some people have cuts as symptoms of herpes some have lesions some have red spots everyone is different
Get it swabbed and let us know what happens. It might not be herpes but testing is the only way to be sure. Some people have sworn blind that they have symptoms that look exactly like herpes and it turned out not to be and vice versa.
urologist here. TO EVERYONE IN COMMENTS this is not herpes- stop giving information when you have no clue and are jumping to conclusions. last time he had sex was 8 months ago. if she gave him herpes it would have shown up 2-7 days later and lasting approximately 6 weeks. these look nothing like herpes . Jose- go to your local std clinic and get a doctor to look at them and do a full std panel, until then these pictures aren't doing you any good. dont wash your penis with soap ever as it increases your chances of contracting an sti's and dont have anymore unprotected sex- I recommend not having sex until you can find out what it is exactly. message me if you need anymore information- as noted I am an American and do not know how your healthcare works so it's best if you take advice on "where to go" from someone relatively local
Nobody said it is 100% herpes
Also i have seen numerous cases of Herpes outbreaks from Herpes positive people and all of them did not have the same classic symptoms because some people have mild symptoms and some people have severe outbreaks , mind you some women ended up at A & E because of the pain
Also some studies suggest that many people claimed never having any symptoms when they were tested positive when in fact their mild symptoms were mistaken for something else.
Also many people are actually herpes positive but they do not know . So if this is herpes he either had it from before but with more visible symptoms or she has infected him. Thus this 2-7 days rule is not set in stone and many people are a living proof of this and not all people's herpes last for approx 6 weeks . Every case is different.
