Posted , 5 users are following.

I just found I have genital HSV-1 thanks to a igg test, however at the same time of herpes symptoms i saw a pair of white small points in my scrotum and they are being there for almost 3 months now and with the time they are bigger and one is more red color, do you thing they looks like related to herpes? or is something else? thanks.

      Hi, before igg test I felt my butt very itchy , some night sweats and mainly some papercuts in my groin, but at the same time I noticed this little points since january, and they are clearly growing, this is the picture of them at the beggining of January, thanks.

      That doesnt sound like herpes. Herpes dont grow in size from January until what ? we about to be in April. Herpes bumps grow and pop in matter of days and weeks. Thats probably something else

      Yes i think I will need to visit a doctor again for that, this is so weird and sad really, I hope is not something related with hpv I dont really want to have more stuff in my genitals, thanks for your answer Sindy.

    How did you find out it was genital thru an igg test? That test doesnt tell you wether it is oral or genital

      I was in touch with a girl who told me she has genital herpes type 1, and I had a lot of symptoms about 3 weeks later, my butt was very itchy and I got some paper cuts in my groin, so I did the test (about 2 months of contact) and was positive for hsv1, so I think is correct to think is genital herpes.

      Hi Sindy, yes believe me I have being thinking a lot about that, according to lot of statistics hsv-1 is really common, so it could be I just had it before and those symptoms where other thing.. but with those symptoms I got very confused, I would love to find a way to be sure but I think there is not a way basically other than a swab but I didnt have other lesions after ther first time, very tricky this hsv stuff really.

      I was reading transmission statistics and they are not so high to be honest, that made me feel calm for some days and mainly because my contact was very small, basically I was masturbating this girl and then I touched my penis to have a good erection before putting the condom, in that moment she told me about her herpes, so I didnt even have sex but somehow I was in touch of her fluids, but well, really thanks for the recommendation Sindy.
