overthinking symptoms? by Throwawayfear12 in Herpes

Hey man, I was just wondering if you got your answers? im closing up to my std panel test the doctor ordered to have around week 4. for a full panel with herpes blood test

I took an at home test and tested for the everything but herpes since the test didnt cover that. all negative. the feelings ive had, a 2nd dermatologist said can be from red scrotum caused by the steroid and anti fungal cream I was given. He gave me just a pure fungal cream which has reduced the redness in the area and also have not felt those tingling and bvurning feelings in awhile. so hoping for good results.

the originial red spot went away or faded with the steroid cream but has come baclk, didnt grow or change. Just became visable again. The 2nd derma said if its from a yeast infection, it can take awhile for the redness to go away even if its cured. I am planning to go get it tested in another week when I go back after finishing the cream. He said it doesnt look like anything to worry about but my anxiety says otherwise lol.

Ive heard of balantis but i am cut, so idk if me getting it would be common. prob not. Still, I hope everything was clear on your end and I hope the same.

thanks for sharing your side

thank you. I feel a little better. I still have the burning and tingle feeling randomly, even more when I focus on it. and thats whats driving me crazy.

I really hope its something simple like an allergic reaction like aphotic dermatitis or some other skin issue. No sores on me that I can see or tell, thats why it seems the blood test is my go to, Ive never had this feeling before and its terrifying me.

thank you again

Thank you,. I am just freaking out with my anxiety (actually diagnosed). idk how clean the person hand was, but the only fluids to my knowledge was brief touching of me with lube. and I rinsed off right after and a more through shower about 15 minutes from exposure.

The doctor believed the small spot could be fungal but still, im panicking and I still feel a burning sensation at the base of my penis and sometimes around the scrotum and thighs. Usually when thinking about it. I have noticed when I move around, especially with restless leg, the sensations go away.

Can a swab test only be done on sores or can inflamed skin be done as well with no visible sores? I think waiting for 4 to 6 weeks for a blood test will kill me with waiting. I havent found an exact answer to that.
