I think i have herpes
OK here's the situation, to make along story short i had gotten oral sex from a random female. I mean really random. like walking down the street and it picked me up. anyway like a couple days later i began to get a itch around my penis. Thats when i start freaking out. i automatically assume its herpes. Knowing this i went back to confront this "girl" to ask did she have anything.. found out it was a guy.... i know but I'm not worried about that. freaked out before and 10x more freaked out after discovering this. i started having irritations around the head of my penis like tingling itching (from scrotum to). Then i got a little red bump by the foreskin of my penis. (it's unnoticeable until u get a real good look at it) this when i really started panicking i went to the er got checked for the usual std's. results came bac negative, she also checked me visually and i showed her the bump and she said that it dosent look like herpes because it's just a bump and hasnt scabbed or healed and dosent hurt, but i developed more symptoms i had a cough that lasted about 5 days, a cough tht felt like i was sick (coughing hard enough i can force mucus out of my throat), but i didn't get a fever after the results i thought i was in the clear. During the whole sick thing without a fever i had gotten constipated and my hemorrhoids came back, but i thought that was do to me passing bowels everyday due to constipation. i was a little eased but herpes was still on my mind so i checked my lower back... and there it was a pain like right on the lower part of my spine (it only hurt when i pressed on it), i started to get depressed because of obvious reasons. and my balls hurt sometimes witch feels like ive been kicked there and like my sides hurt toward my back .Now i sit here scared out of my mind and don't know whats happening to my body. I get random tingles and itches on occasion not as much when it first started it has cooled down a lot (after doctor visit, gave me the drugs for other std's) But I'm still very worried no real tingling when i pee, I've been depressed before i just shook it off. IM 18 mom swares up and down thats it's all I'm my head because i believe in my case getting a STD is the worse thing that could ever happen to me like i think thats my only legit fear. So she thinks its all in my head, but I've been playing mutilple sports all my life and this just feels different. I have random patches of dry skin that breaks into oval patches. like catalyst on my hands accept it open without me picking them just on my arms and hands and dosent hurt (pick them every time i find one). Im extremely paranoid and ill be the first to admit i get over worked on somethings and over think things a lot and as far as anxiety i think I'm experiencing it now but idk.. I'm jus really scared i need someone else to tell me that I'm fine it's my body reacting to something i THINK i have, . HELP ME PLEASE
ok that was enough time. move forward, you didn't contract anything from this. consider it a lesson learned and in the future, only have protected sexual contact so you don't worry like this and don't need to pay for testing :)
I'm going to side with mom on this one too :)
most of your symptoms sound like jock itch more than anything in your genital area. a cough isn't a sign of a std either. you also won't have back pain from a std that you have to look to find.
how long after you had received oral sex did you get your urine testing for std's done?

Anxiety is a terrible thing which produces many many worrying symptoms which then increases the anxitety and you end up in a vicious circle as you are now. You don't have herpes as you would of had very real painful blisters and you do not. Stop looking online at different herpes symptoms as most are very general ie back pain, headaches etc these are all signs of anxiety. You've been checked for the usual STIs and they came back negative so you can have confidence in those accurate results. You need to see a dermatologist about your dry skin (another sign of anxiety) and try and relax.
