Atypical HSV1 Genital Symptoms 31 Male. Please help


Recommended Posts

Hello Everyone

I was diagnosed with a swab on my penis head in Jan 2019. I did not have a typical outbreak of genital herpes. No pain, no sore etc. The girl I dated had GHSV1 and she did not disclose. She was diagnosed only a month ago and engaged in sex with me. So she was highly infectious. 

I just have a red spot on the head. It is not paining no sore. The first time it appeared I went to the doc and they thought it is not herpes but I insisted to swab and it came back positive for GHSV1. Since then the red spot has not disappeared. It just keeps changing red colour intensity from bright red to light res to pink and then sometimes it is a small red Dot and then flares back again. It has been 8months and this just keeps happening. 

I have been to many docs and dermatologist they just say may be it is a scar from the virus or something. It might go away or it might never go away. I just want to know if anyone else has these symptoms at all. 

I don't take any medication at all since there is no pain. Can anyone tell me what is going on? @mr_hoppif you can shed some light as to what it might be or where can I head to get accurate treatment or diagnosis

Thank you very much I need help

I’m female so can’t entirely relate but I have permanent spots from where my outbreaks occur. They don’t flare up unless I’m having an outbreak but it does look like a scar since the skin is discolored. 

I read one of your other posts. Did you ever follow up with the ex?

Any chance you have a photo of this? It sounds similar to what's happening to me.
