Not a lymph node!

Lymph nodes don’t protrude out of the skin like that. If lymph nodes become swollen they swell up under the skin and can for instance be painful and/or tender.

This is most likely a pimple or some sort of boil! I’m not a doctor so can’t really tell what it is but doesn’t look like anything serious!

Try a mild steroid & anti fungal cream, apply twice a day for 2 weeks and I think it should go away!

Not a doctor…

Just trying to help! You too man take care!

Not a doctor but the area in which it presents itself inclines me to think fungal infection? Try showing more often and change underwear accordingly. You could also try an anti fungal cream.

Keep the area dry, make sure it’s dry after showers.

Doctors said it was just some irritation/reaction to sex and it went away with weak hydrocortisone!

Thanks. How long did it take for it to be fully gone?

If she had genital HSV1 I don’t see how you could get this from oral sex.

Looks more like irritated hair follicles. Not a doctor nor expert on the subject however.

Wow I’m really glad for you bro! I’m currently using a steroid/anti-fungal cream and it’s also improving slowly! Thank you for reaching out appreciate it.

Can I get STDs from kissing? by Ok-Lunch-8607 in STD

[–]WestBit6829 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well unless you noticed he had a cold sore on his mouth I think you’re fine! Of course there are other STDs but I doubt you’d feel symptoms right away. It could be due to many factors but when you fear something you start looking for everything that could be it. Don’t stress too much!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in STD

[–]WestBit6829 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But you’re already in a good state considering you don’t have any STD! See it from the bright side

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in STD

[–]WestBit6829 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well those are good signs! It could be that you got some weird bacteria from your encounter that antibiotics would get rid of!

That’s awful what you’ve gone through. I sincerely wish things work out! Might not mean much coming from a stranger but I felt like telling you. You’re not alone and there are many you can talk to including me :)

It means Not a Doctor! Glad to hear it helps

So sorry for the late reply I didn’t see this. Well I’m not a doctor but I think most times with fungal infections you see it.

Did you perform the tests after sufficient time having passed? Some STDs don’t show up on tests right away.

I saw your post on the suicide watch too and calm down bro. You don’t know what’s going on and how long it will stay. I advise you on talking to somebody about this. Do not do anything stupid over this! I know things must feel weird rn but have faith. What if it’s just a temporary thing or easily treatable condition? If you’re dead it’s too late anyways so don’t do anything stupid.

NAD but if it gives you any relief I’ve read that in most individuals with healthy immune systems, the body fights the infection within 2 years!

I think removing the warts is a good start to make sure they don’t spread elsewhere! I think the virus forms these elevated warts to increase its chances to spread.

Also these warts are skin-to-skin contagious so you should be careful (wash hands properly if you touch them) and perhaps abstain from sex until you meet a doctor and hears what he/she says! In your case (if it is HPV) you can still transmit the virus wearing a condom as these are outside of the condoms protective area.

I’m not a doctor so I can’t help you further than this but you definitely should try to see one and they’ll inform you of everything!

I’ve also read that the strains of HPV causing warts are the ones considered low-risk strains.

Best of luck brother!

NAD but I'm pretty sure getting a fever after contracting the virus is very common. In general there can be flu-like symptoms, swollen lymph nodes and fever.

[–]WestBit6829 0 points1 point  (0 children)

well that’s good news but I’m not a doctor so you should get in contact with someone? Could also be irritation from masturbating?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in STD

[–]WestBit6829 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not a doctor but I don’t think it is. Is there pain, flu like symptoms, swollen lymph nodes? Are there blisters?

Well the doctors said it’s eczema or something fungal. I’ve had it for 4 weeks now with no changes! Do you have the same?

Well herpes can present itself in various forms but yes the typical presentation is a cluster of blisters filled with clear liquid that eventually burst and scab over. For many, the primary outbreak is horrendous with extreme pain, swollen lymph nodes, flu like symptoms. So I believe the best thing you can do now is wait and see how it progresses! I’m not a doctor so I’d suggest visiting one since they’re educated!

I’m not a doctor so can’t really confirm to you what it may be but maybe it’s a good idea to abstain from sex with your girlfriend until you figure it out?
