Could it be?

well i guess i should start with some background info first, about five months ago, i had a one night stand with a girl who worked with a friend of mine. all that occured was kissing, fingering and then she gave me oral for no time at all....literally it was less than a minute. well at the time i paid no attention to it, but she had what now i assume to have been a cold sore aka HSV 1. it was crusted over at the time, bc if it had been oozing puss and what not i would have turned and ran away. At first this scared me but when i felt fine for a couple of months i thought nothing of it. then in the middle of december, i started having lower bank pains and lower abdominal cramps. this has gone away and in the last 2 or 3 weeks i have had what seems to be a slight occassional itch in my groin area and my testicles seem to hang lower than they used to constantly sticking to my legs and what not. Well, i've been told i'm a horrible hypocondriac (sp?) and so i have worried myself thinkin it is herpes even though there were no true symptoms, but then last friday night i went to urinate and noticed a small red spot, almost resembling a scratch on my scrotum, and then a spot perfectly even with it about 1/3 of an inch away, which i proceeded to pick at both and neither of them are painful or bleed or anything and seem to be healing on their own. They dont resemble any pictures of herpes i have been able to find on the internet and also arent filled with anything, they are exactly like a scratch and almost completely flush with the rest of my skin on the scrotum. as of now they there are still only 2 and arent red, just still there, and they don't itch or burn or hurt in anyway. so should i be concerned that this is herpes since it has been 5 months since i was with that girl? or could it be something else? i am going to my doctor next week for a physical(the real kind with blood work and all, not the kind from highschool you got for football), and i'm not sure if they test for stds in physicals. any light that can be shed on this would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Could it be?

Briefly, the best thing for you to do is get a blood test to see if you have the antibodies to the virus. You have to specifically ask for it, otherwise the doctor won't order it unless he sees some visible symptoms.

Re: Could it be?

yea i had already planned on asking him to test me for everything possible (hypocondriac), but from what i described does anyone think it is herpes? This morning i noticed that they are both looking really good and that one is better than the other bc i barely picked at it, and still pain free and itch free. so any input is appreciated

Re: Could it be?

Sorry, but it could be absolutely anything. Yes, could be herpes - could be nothing at all. Herpes varies from person to person so much that we really can't tell you. The only thing that is typical about this virus is how different it is for everyone!

Good luck - if it is HSV1, you should be lucky and not have too much trouble with it.

Re: Could it be?

thanks for the help, and i figured since i hadnt had any of the typical symptoms that no one would really be able to know what it is. However, i'm guessing that HSV1 is a lot easier to deal with when located genitals? if you don't mind, please elaborate....thanks again
