no i didnt not but i did go to the doctors by then it was gone . i showed her the picture and she says since it appeared immediatly - 2 hours after sex its from friction that a recurrence wouldnt show up that quickly even on medication and that since i used cortisone on it thats another indicator thats its not herpes because cortisone wouldve irrotated the spot if herpes not help it . the reason i asked about the scab is because yesterday i saw a tiny choclate brown scab on the side of my husband shaft .. he removed the scab washed it with soap , it didnt burn and it doesnt bother him (hence the reason he didnt realize it ) it doesnt cause him any discomfort and this monrning its pretty much gone . the scab was super tiny .

ah i see probably nothing to worry about then with the sore occurring so soon after sex it most likely is as your doctor said due to friction the scab could have been from anything a benign spot or a small cut

yea like i had mentioned to u awhile ago that i felt the raw rubbing during intercourse immediatley after i pee and it stung a bit then 2 hours later i looked a saw the picture i sent u . & i put some typos in my previous comment when i said (she said a recurrence wouldnt appear that quickly even on meds) i meant to say " she said that a recuurence wouldnt appear that soon especiallu on medication and that a outbreak wouldnt heal that quickly(2.5 days) even on meds .. sorry for all the previous typos , taking care of my toddler and trying to type lol .. so what i told u about the 1 scab on his penis that doesnt cause pain .. that couldnt be a primary could it ? , 1 painless scab .. it doesnt seem likely considering everywhere i read and talk to says that primarys are usually multiple lesions and painful .
