I had protected sex with a woman. The following day I noticed that the skin under the pubic hair at the base of my penis was inflamed. I also noticed that there were tiny white heads in the skin in the area of the root of the hair. The following day, the glands on the sides of the groin area were swollen. The glands are no longer swollen, but I do see the pimple area and notice a slight swelling of the penis shaft itself. Do I have Herpis? I tried going to the doctor today, but I am not insured and low on cash. Any help would be appreciated

Hey Danno - whiteheads I would say would be more irritation, and an OB showing THAT quickly? I would say no on the HSV. But the glands... and there are accounts of people who contract HSV through condoms (my boyfriend for example) and that high up, probably not covered by the condom right?

My advice would be that your money would be best spent at the doctors office settling your mind while you have the irritation. No insurance sucks, but reassurance is better. :wink:

Good Luck - do us a favor and let us know how you did!

      SUCCESS STORY: Herpes is an opportunity to built trust and connection through vulnerability.

      By Jeremy Spokein · Posted

      Yes, but every married person who I found out about that has this waited 6-8 months into the relationship to disclose it. But maybe you're right. If I had told her 6-7 months in, she'd still have Googled it and flipped out, and maybe it would have been harder then. I don't know. I don't see myself going through this level of pain and rejection so easily next time. I really don't. I'm taking the meds. I use protection. It's been almost a decade since I've had it so I'm not worried about shedding or passing it on so easily. British studies confirm that the first 2 years are the most contagious and we're passed that. I'm just over this. I've never been in so much emotional pain in my life.

      Is this herpes? I can’t find any pics that match this exactly and my symptoms don’t really match. I don’t have really any of the typical herpes symptoms other than pictured, so I figured it could be friction as I have recently been having a lot of sex with a new partner. Way more than normal. Started having unprotected sex about 3 - 4 weeks ago. These symptoms only started about 3-4 days ago. Felt burning in some areas and only some very few tiny red areas/spots appeared. Almost shiny in appearance. Seems to settle very quickly. They were only present for a day or so. Also had some very mild irritation after I pee but not during. This spot has 2 small red lumps that are now dry around the outside. It’s like it’s been rubbed off and the skin is dry and shiny underneath. It doesn’t seem to be lesion. There was no puss or any leakage, nor was the skin ever red under them. They also got better within a day or so. I still have red spots around but they are very small and not bunched together and some general discomfort but I feel it’s because I’ve touched it so much! Stressing a bit!  my research tells me friction burn/blister , Fungal ,herpes a bit of it all! I have no idea! Please help! Thanks in advance.

      @EssenceL25 there really isn't a question mark around the source, it's your latest partner. The median time from infection to an outbreak of lesions upon initial infection is 4 days.  The only thing that isn't certain is the type I suggest.
