Also, if you can, it would be good to have a doctor look at the bump. A doctor's analysis and swabs can be much more effective when examining an actual bump rather than hearing you describe what it once was. I would just try to go somewhere where you trust the doctor is trained in diagnosing herpes and/or other STDs.
To my mind, one of the things working in your favor is that the bump occurred six weeks after the encounters. From what I know (having stressed and studied about this) that is strange behavior for a first herpes breakout. So, I think you can at least try to keep positive about this. It may well not be herpes.
Thank you for swift direct n honest response. Thats what i believe too, both that she lied n had a long term case, and that most probably my risk was so low that this is not it. I will get tested in about two months to b sure. However, my only prob is that i am currently seeing a new girl and we r going away on thursday. I dont want to spread it if it is. As for the looking closely part, i agree as well, but this is not a case of me overthinking a natural bump. It is def something that is apparent, noticeable, and not usually there. Also, it is def tender, not just over analyzing. Thnk u tho for ur input, it really helps
It does appear that your partner probably had a long term HSV2 infection.
Your symptoms do not align with herpes, when you are looking closely as you are, these naturally and frequently occurring things get noticed.
The chances of infection were very low. The chances are that you'd have known within two weeks of infection seeing you do not carry any strain of HSV. However, it is recommended you confirm with a 12 week test.
Im torn whether it is or not. Its minimal, many weeks later, and even my risk was low to begin with. Yet, there is certainly "something" in my genital area, from what i read it sounds like it could be, and i just dont know what else it could be. I do get bumps in my pubic area above from time to time but they are more puss natured and not as tender as this. Ugh its frustrating n im nervous. Please if u can, give me a clear and direct breakdown of your opinions based on your knowledge/research.
Def did not have it before nor gave it to her*
Thnx for rsponse. I really dont know if i can believe her, but she said that ahe had hsv prior, but her outbreak, which she never had before, was swabbed n confirmed for hsv 2. She said she got the ob 2 weeks after i last encounter. I just recently tested neg for both hsv 1 n 2 on an iGg, so i def did have it before her/give it to her. Again she swore that she had no ob while w me.
As for me, to reiterate: 6 weeks later (on friday) i felt tenderness on left side lf scrotum. It shortly appeared to b a little bump. Its not overly painful, its singular, small but apparent, its not itchy, but i feel it, and its not really red as it more fleshy.
Its been two days and no real change to it. I feel a little sick, but i have no fever and lots could be in my head at this point as i am slowly starting to panic. I really want to know if it sounds like i could b herpes, keeping in mind, this would b my first ob. Is it possible a first Ob can b so minimal? Or is this the start of the beginning of an OB that is going to get much worse?
What tests did you have that confirmed you were negative. Was it IgG antibodies?
Did she suggest this was a first outbreak for her? Was it a multiple sore episode? She sought medical assistance so I assume it was of a magnitude not experienced before.
As for the cinnamon recommendation, i am not sure what that means. Are you saying that u think i have it and i should used cinnamon going forward during sex?
I appreciate your quick response, as I am up and cannot sleep because the panic is starting to increase.
However, i am very confused about your response. i did not have any of those pre-outbreak symptoms. I get pain in my lower back regularly to begin with. I didnt get any pinching or hip pain. I just felt se tenderness in my groin, and then a very small bump appeared friday morning. It is not big, doesnt not really hurt, tho it is tender. It has not changed since friday morning.
My questions are:
Does this sound like a herpes outbreak?
If so, will this increase and get worse (being that i know that its my first outbreak since i previously tested negative)
Is it likely that i contracted from protected sex from a girl who did not have an outbreak at the time, and had no symptoms until 6 weeks later (if what i have can even b considered a symptom?)
You going to soon. First the first outbreak is the worst of all that you going to have in the future if you are contaminated. First you got a pain in your lower back and hips. Then fever and chills (three days prior to the OB) Then a pinch in your genital skin where the first ulcer will start.
My recommendation have Cinnamon Powder and Sea water in a spray bottle ready to attack. As soon you feel the pain in the back put cinnamon powder in all the genital area affected all around. Then Spray with sea water. If you are cincuncidide cover with a condom to avoid the Cinnamon to get lost by the friction with the underwear.
Also too, she swore to me that she did not have an ob while she was with me. I can't say for sure if she is telling the truth, but i def did not noticed anything while in bed, tho i wasn't inspecting
