Hello,
In early August I had a one night stand - unprotected vaginal sex (brief - 20 seconds maybe). I am an uncircumcised male, 22 years old. She was 30.
About 6 weeks later I noticed about 5 red spots on the shaft of my penis, underneath my foreskin, aswell as 1 or 2 on the head of my penis. There were small (1/2mm in diameter). They disappeared the following day. A few days later, some more appeared in different locations, and as I rolled my foreskin back over the head of my penis they seemed to be like a mirror image.
I've spoken to a doctor, unfortunately there was nothing to see on that particular day and despite showing him pictures, he told me to come back at a time when they were visible if they don't clear up completely.
For about 6 weeks these spots were disappearing and reappearing - sometimes with 3 or 4 days between them. Always different locations. They then vanished completely for about 3 months.
Again, no itching, no burning, no pain, no puss, no ulceration, no other problems urinating. At one stage i had some lower back pain and my lymph nodes in my neck were really painful for about 2 days, I'm not sure if it's in any way related.
I had never had anything like this before, and so naturally I'm desperately worried that the spots are signs of an HSV-1 or HSV-2 infection, despite the fact they don't seem to be 'typical' symptoms.
A few days ago, a 2 spots appeared. 2 days later, they were gone and another 2 in different locations. The next day, one more somewhere else. Always under the foreskin / rarely on the penis head itself.
There does seem to be a few specialists on the forum, and I'm hoping someone can give me some advice as to the cause of these, much less give me some information to go back to the doctor with, questions to ask, tests to suggest, etc...
Thanks.
