Question: Possible Herpes???

Lestate - Thu Dec 28, 2006 4:37 pm

Please let me know your opinion... Positive Symptoms: I have 3, red Itchy bumps at the base of my penis that appeared 2 days ago and I just developed a severe sore throat and I can tell that my throat glands are swollen. Negative Symptoms: These are my only symptoms. The red bumps are not red any more, and the Itch is not as severe, but still there. As well, my girlfriend and I have been sexually exclusive for a year and a half. She is the only person I have had sex with ever. Herpes symptoms usually pop up within 2 weeks of infection right? She has no symptoms. No blisters...yet. I figure that I just got in some chiggers (sp) and they bit me and then the sore throat is just from traveling so much over the holidays... Please let me know...

This could be: - These lesions mostly represent a form of Dermatitis. Dermatitis is referred to different types of skin rashes that are caused by infections, allergies (including medicine), and irritants (such as soaps, certain creams and some may be due to allergy). Lesions are usually in the form of Itchy small red bumps. The inflammation usually subsides spontaneously, but avoiding exposure to any irritant is important . You may use only bland lotions, like moisturizing lotions, till you consult your docotr. Other causes to be excluded like: - Friction and fungus are very likely to be the causes red and , painful Itchy patches. Obese and active people are more susceptible. Antifungal treatment is needed. - Herpes simplex infection (less likely) results in small, very painful blisters (fluid is inside the lesion) genital irritation, Itching, they burst into The sores turns into crust, that scab and heal in about 3 weeks. Direct clinical examination is essential. Keep us updated.

Thank You so much for your response... The red bumps are down, there is still a little Itching. It is not pussing or crusting over. I will go in for consultation if it persists or reoccurs. I figure I just got into something at my families place over the holidays...they live in the country. Thank You again...
