I've had this for 3 months now

Posted , 5 users are following.

in October I had sex with a lady friend that ended up having hsv2. I developed a bump 2 weeks later that the dermatologist said was malluscum but I'm not too sure. it was there for everybit of 2 months then i decided to have her freeze it. soon after she froze it like a week later just below under my shaft bear the scrotum I felt a burning sensation for the next month n half it's recently got better just feel slight irritation now. I've tested negative hsv2 4 n half months later. just not sure because I've had lifelong hsv1.

    both pics never had puss or scabbed nor change in size. has anyone ever experienced this. I've had areas swabbed but neg results. does the so called malluscum look like hsv2 bump to anybody. even tho it didn't have the typical hsv look not sure what to believe I've read so much and having a long time hsv1 infection can give mild symptoms. I appreciate any advice I can get on these. thank you in advance.

      This last pic is directly on the midline under my shaft near the scrotum just irritation no puss no blister look at all. slightly raised irritated look not sure what's going on. I'm healthy enough I would think after 4 months I'd have a low positive or equivocal by now. hsv1 slows the process but I've read by a few weeks. I'll retest at the 6 month mark

    I've had one of these in my pubic hair area before and it was a skin tag. they are not a big deal at all and your doctor can remove it

      Thank you for the response. I'm very concerned about the first pic. dermatologist said it was a mallescum bump. I'm not too sure tho. and wondering if anyone had an hsv2 outbreak similar to the first pic. Even tho it never ulcered or blistered. just not sure.

      I understand your concern, but I think you're fine! I have had HSV for over 20 years and I've never had an outbreak that look even remotely like that 😃

      thank you once again. I've had a long history of oral hsv1 and id assume hsv2 acts in a similar way. the tingling crawling feeling then itching to blisters sore then scab. this was there unchanged for 2 months and I waited that long to see if it blistered and scabbed and it never did so I took the derms word and had her freeze it. thank you so much for your time

      I just received my results from an igG 20 wks post exposure. do you think that's enough time or should I retest at 6 month mark too. When u found out did u just happened to be tested or did u kno you were exposed and tested by blood testing. Thank you for being such a great help btw. have a good wknd
