Long story short back in March 2020 I had a outbreak of blisters on my shaft. They were not painful and I found out when I felt them after a hanky session. They lasted for a few weeks (the whole blister, ulcer, crust over) and I was somewhat concerned but also more concerned with the pandemic that started.
I went to an urgent care and did a full panel and everything came back negative. The doctor who I showed the pictures to (since the sores went away) told me âit could be anythingâ.
After this I felt relieved. That was until it came back again in April the same exact way.
I read up about herpes testing and realized I needed to wait until 3-4 months for antibodies to show on IgG (which was why I probably tested negative back in March) so I went to STD Check and did another full panel test and everything still came back negative.
I sometimes have tingles down there as well as a very small pimple pop down there.
Last year around this time I explained this to the doctor and he did the whole âoh yeah this is common and your picture looks like that so just take Valtrexâ. He was a dismissive doctor and told me I was freaking out so I had another full panel as well as a swab test done (the small pimple like thing) and it all came back negative.
I had another swab test in January this year to make myself feel better.
I still donât and still donât know what Iâm doing. Am I paranoid ?
