Hi guys and gals,
I have a diffuse, bilateral outbreak of sores on my penis, there are 6 in total, all painless except 1 that is slightly sensitive. Here is why I am confused, typically if herpes sores present themselves they are clustered, blisters that are painful. I have 6 scattered all over the shaft of my penis, none of which ever blistered. And they are not painful. The sores are small, appear slighly red with a dark center. The first appeared two days ago with 4-5 appearing since then. No pain, or itching.
More info: Been in a monogamous sexual relationship for 2 years with the exception of receiving oral sex 4 weeks ago from another girl after me and ex partner broke up. Then got back together with ex a few weeks later. Partner is HSV 1 positive both genitally and orally (I know this is statistically rare but she had a genital sore confirmed as HSV1 10 years ago, and subsequent blood work showing only HSV1 positive. She also gets oral cold sores) Because of this, a likely place to start would be to assume an initial OB of genital HSV1, but my symptoms dont really match the classical presentation.
Im wondering if any of you have any insight into possible conditions besides genital HSV1 (maybe secondary syphilis? Something bacterial?) or if I should just assume thats it and proceed with treatment despite the non traditional symptoms. Thanks for your time, love this forum and have spent hours reading everything.
