Red face Need Help Figuring Out Mouth Problem

Recently I had a romantic interlude with a woman. We engaged in a lot of deep kissing but no intercourse. Anyway, since that time, she quit our relationship. Shortly after that kissing interlude, I started feeling this itch inside my mouth and on my tongue. I asked her about this and she has refused to answer my concerns. The doctor has not been able to figure it out. What should I do? I am afraid of having picked up an STD or major disease passed on to me and am scared. I've been on doxycycline from a doctor but no clearing up of this problem.

Help with good advice.......Please!

Re: Need Help Figuring Out Mouth Problem

There is really no STI which matches the description you give. Who put you on doxycycline and why?

An important question for you though: were you afraid of an STI BEFORE you felt any mouth itching? In other words, had the thought of an STI crossed your mind before you got symptoms?

Unhappy Re: Need Help Figuring Out Mouth Problem

I was not worried about it but when I texted her and she raised the issue of disease, I got admittedly worried. A doctor put me on this medicine but as I said, it does not seem to work.

If it's not an STI, what could it be?

Re: Need Help Figuring Out Mouth Problem

One other question:

In terms of the itching you're feeling in your mouth and your tongue, did you feel that BEFORE she raised the issue about disease or afterwards?

One reason the drug isn't working is possibly because you don't have an infection. Doxycycline is an antibiotic.
