Lesions and pain on penis

Hello,

I was diagnosed with genital herpes 2 years ago. Symptoms were very obvious, so my doctor did not request any tests. My initial outbreak was extremely painful and it lasted for almost 1 month, although I used Valtrex. For the next 2 years, I had an outbreak every 1-2 months, but I did not use Valtrex, because it gives me palpitations.

2 months ago (November 2020), I decided that I cannot go on with such frequent outbreaks, and I started taking daily 500 mg Valtrex. Palpitations went away after around 10 days. Simultaneously, I started using tea tree oil soap and propolis cream but I stopped using them after a few weeks.

Since November, i.e. for almost 60 days, I have an enduring pain in my genital area, similar to the pain accompanying genital herpes. It did not go away even for 1 day. Also, there are some slightly pinkish lesions on my penis (please see pictures) for nearly 60 days. I had a HSV 1-2 swap test on these pink regions, but the result was negative (of course it might be false negative).

I think that this is not herpes, because I never experienced 2 months of continuous pain. I thought maybe I had an allergic reaction against Valtrex, so I stopped taking it one week ago, but there is no change.

Also I noticed some goose bumps on the shaft of my penis (also seen on pictures), but I do not know whether they were already there before.

I would be very happy if you could comment on what those lesions might be and how could treat them.

Thank you very much!!

    Thank you. I will definitely see an urologist but the earliest appointment I can get is mid February. I am very concerned and stressed about this situation. I would like to know whether it might be something of concern, requiring urgent attention.

    For 2 years, I had outbreaks every 1-2 months. Now I use Valtrex and there is enduring pain for 2 months with those pink legions, which do not go away even 1 week after stopping Valtrex.

    I am very stressed and would be very grateful for any comments.

      Keep calling where you made your appt and let them know you will take a cancellation. I git my wait time down doing that as well. Mention to them how important it is you see someone asap, they should work with you. Best of luck!

    Is there no one who can comment on what my condition might be? I really need your help.

    It has been more than 60 days and the skin is red-pink and there are very small blisters, but not herpes blisters. There is enduring pain for 60 days.

    I would really appreciate any comment.
