HSV2?

Posted , 2 users are following.

first diagnosed with UTI, took doxycline and sulfamthoxazole burning went away, white patch of skin in my groin with red streaks near swollen lymph node , Dr said it didnt look like a herpes outbreak, diagnosed it as lymphenditis.took Igg test came back negative waited a week took another one came back negative , took a full panel std test everything came back normal except i was dehydrated had ketones in my urine as well as WBCs. was recommended to take a igM test , which also came back negative. ive had balanitis before but this seems different. sweat has a bread like smell too it but im not sure if thats swelling or blisters on the foreskin. end of every night theres a white substance on foreskin of penis if that matters. doesnt seem to be any pain or burning just feels raw and has been spreading over the past month now. the skin in my groin has been burning for a month.my scrotum is also red.

      how soon from

      exposure was your first and last test ?

      and do you know your numbers ?

      i experienced burning in my groin area for about 3 weeks . once my swabs came back negative the burning went away but i still have burning in my urethra area AFTER i urinate .

      everyone says this doesnt sound like herpes but im going to do the IGG test again in a couple of weeks to rule it out for good

      first test a week after 0.20, second test at 3 0.20, 4 weeks post exposure different lab , no numerical value just negative.

      5 weeks post exposure >5.00h which is a definite high positive.
