WORRIED ABOUT HERPES AND PERMANENT CHANGES ON PENIS HEAD DESPITE NEGATIVE IGG AT 4 MONTHS

hi guys

this all started a year and a half ago i had unprotected sex with a girl

a few days later i had red sore dots on my glans..no crusting or oozing but burning ..hoping it was yeast as the girl did say she got regular yeast infections

I was to scared to go to the doctors at the time and decided that if the dots came back I would get a swab and ordered a igg which I took at 18 weeks which came back

positive for hsv1 (no surprise as I've had it since childhood)

but completely negative for hsv2

the red dots have never came back like they did the first time but my glans doesn't look the same anymore ,the front of my glans is now scarred with ridges when before it was smooth, I've tried clotrimazole on my glans which hasn't changed it..just wondering if anyone else has glans that have permanently changed with scarring after yeast,hsv or even hpv

if anyone has any advice or opinions I would really appreciate the input

      yeah these are normally found along the edge of the head..I've had them around the head ever since I can remember

      my concern is a patch of skin on the front of the glans which has changed since having unprotected sex and a one time outbreak of sores...Terri Warren has answered my questions on her website if anyone wants to see what she said

      thanks for sharing, interesting perspective. I have started Desitin cream, I'll let you know if I have any improvements. Still pretty much the same going on 7 weeks..

    Any updates on this? i have the same exact issue and it is worse when there is more blood flow. Mine started after my partner and I were intimate while she was on her period.

    Have you tried pimecrolimus 1% cream or tacrolimus?

    I have same situation - but more inflamed - and this is what improved (not completely solved!) my situation.

    Everything else didn't help (corticosteroids, anti-fungals, imiquimod, etc.)
