  1. My partner and I have recently began a relationship with one another. After just 2 weeks together, he began seeing what looked like pimple type bumps. He already had an appointment with a Dermatologist for skin cancer follow up. He showed the Dr the bumps on his penis. She said it was too early to tell if it was simply an ingrown hair or possibly herpes. Dr gave him an antibiotic ointment and said if it doesn't get better in 3 weeks to come back. We looked up information on what HSV2 looks like and it is not clustered. It got better, then yesterday it began to show more bumps and like it was getting worse. He Will call back tomorrow. So many questions before we both get a chance to get tested. How long does a 1st time outbreak last? How long does it take for results to come back. How long does it take for antiviral meds to be effective? He is now feeling itchy but, also as though it is very sensitive. Are the pictures of herpes symbolic of all HSV2 rashes? In other words, the hard bumps that are on there have opened up a little, (only one bump) but, not in clusters. Trying to educate ourselves as much as possible while we wait to be tested. I'm sickened and mortified by the possibility. Not exactly sure how to navigate this site either. Any tips on using the site would be helpful. We are abstaining in the mean time and need a solution for the itching. Fgvys1
