A little over a month ago I had sex for the first time (I'm 20 years old) with a girl I had been seeing for about 8 months and a few days ago a single red bump appeared on my scrotum seemingly out of nowhere. I discovered it right before taking a shower and it was not there the day before. Anyway, it's just a red/pinkish bump, kind of glossy, but doesn't seem to be a blister or have any kind of fluid (yet).. I talked to my girl about it and we're both concerned and she said if she has Herpes then she didn't know about it either.

Anyway, I'll find out soon whether it's herpes or not, and at this point I'm resolved to just handle it like a man and not let it get me so bent out of shape. Am I upset about it? Yeah, I am but it's not the end of the world and I, in retrospect, don't really regret my actions because I really do care for this girl a lot.

Ok, that's enough for the first post. If it does turn out that this is HSV then I look forward to getting to know some of you people.

Thats cool... Sounds like she's worth it.

I'm not all that convinced that it sounds like HSV, but whenever you find out, let us know if you wanted to bounce ideas around.

but now I do feel some tightness in my groin area

Tightness? Or like soreness around your inguinal lymph glands?

If one or both of your inguinal lymph glands are swollen, that might be what you are calling 'tightness'

      Could this be hsv-2?

      By WilsoInAus · Posted

      Hey @Lcj987 and welcome to the website. You can be sure that isn't HSV-2, looks nothing like it. It is much more likely to be folliculitis or inflamed fordyce spots.

      Unsure if Herpes, awaiting swabs, need help

      By WilsoInAus · Posted

      Hey @JackThrowAway herpes causes an outbreak where it enters the body first and maybe a progressive spread. If it doesn't cause an outbreak at the entry site then it won't cause one elsewhere, it also won't 'jump' upon infection - it would be more likely that the lesions are continuous from the penis to the anus. Nevertheless, testing trumps symptoms or any interpretation of symptoms. The correct conclusive result arises when: you have a positive swab; or An IgG HSV-2 level over 3.5 (Herpeselect test).

      Slept with someone unprotected, roughly 2 weeks ago now. I felt generally unwell the couple of days after but I’d been drinking the whole weekend and didn’t have much sleep either of the days of that weekend so put it down to that. 6 days after I noticed these spots appear on the shaft of my penis. Along with symptoms of discomfort in my shaft in the couple of days prior to them appearing. No pain when urinating at all that I have noticed. They don’t hurt, itch or tingle and they don’t have fluid in from what I can see or feel if I squeeze them and have never burst? I went to a sexual health clinic to get checked up, they took bloods to do a full test and looked at the spots but said they saw nothing that concerned them but I’m not sure about that, any advice? The smaller spots under the shaft are just follicles I had diagnosed years ago and non-sti related.

      She tested positive for HSV2. No, there was nothing of that sort in that area.   However I also have ulcerative colitis so I’m on medication that makes me immunosuppressed. I have been bleeding a bit when I pass stools during the time of redness, so I’m unsure if I’m getting a flare from the colitis (from all the stress of everything) or if it’s due to the virus making it’s way to an already inflamed area and popping up as blisters that I can’t see and hence the bleeding.    I had two equivocal results (at 4 weeks and 6 weeks) that then went to a positive result (7 weeks after exposure). Combine that with some flu symptoms, redness, tingling etc. makes me feel it’s conclusive that this points to a hsv2 infection.
