Question:
i only recieved oral sex from this women 3 months ago. I got problems right at the 2 month mark.

i masterbated one night and felt some discomfort. either it was from dry masterbation or the symptoms were there. the glans of my penis, specifically on the rim of the glans turned red the next morning. it was first quite red, then after 2 days or so, it faded and turned pink. the skin started to kinda scab. there wasn't exactly a scab, but white skin started flaking off it. kinda like after u get a sun burn. i got a HSV-2 test and it came back negative which i knew cause I never had unprotected sex.

i started to get REAL stressed out. I mean, really. so i don't know if it caused the upcoming problems in me: i started to get pins and needles on my feet and leg. i also felt more feet were real hot. later i got these nerve pains on my leg and arms! i don't know if these are caused by stressed after reading the prodromes on the internet.

then afterwards (2 weeks later), after the redness and flaking were gone, i got some slight redness on some areas of my penis. it was more a general redness around the outter glans again (circumfrence). later the urthea turned pinkish, especially the tip of my penis.

and 2 days, almost 3 months since the oral sex, i tried masterbating cause i thought i was better. when i masterbate, my WHOLE penis gets red. there's this almost shiney glossy appearance on my urthea. there's no soreness or anything. just plain pink and redness. after 15 min, my penis turns normal. just the usual brown and light pink color.

so iwent to a good derm yesterday. he seemed like in a hurry. but anyways, he said if i don't have blisters, there's a good chance it ain't herpes. he looked at the redness which i had perhaps from friction on my boxers. he also looked at my penis and saw the dry, scaley, leathery look of my urethea. he told me the skin texture change is a sign of balanitis. the thing is, I'm circumsized!!! i described the all around redness and he said i have balanitis. he prescribed me with anti-fungal cream.

ok, weird thing is i slapped some on last night and when i woke up, my penis was slightly redder. isn't the cream suppose to help things? and what's worst is my feet/leg numbing is coming back again.

so my question to you is:

1. based on my story, how likely do u think i have herpes?
2. do u guys experience a change in texture of your penis? my penis looks always dehydrated! not kidding. it seems real dry and wrinkly. u guys have this?
3. do u get all around redness on ur urethea, glans and shaft?

I've spent quite alot of time and money in trying to get a proper diagnose. so far all docs say no. i'm thinking there might be a chance it might be herpes based on the numb feet i get from time to time.

Answer:
It sounds like you have scabies man. Your syptoms you are describing are EXACTLY what I had going on with me. Scabies is a parasite and is not a STD. It's like lice, and can be anywhere on your body but prefer clsoed warm areas.I got mine from a hotel bed. I was alot worse off than you are right now. I got some type of sulpher cream perscribed to me and that was the end of that.

Answer:
Not to disagree. But that doesn't sound like scabies at all. Scabies ITCH LIKE CRAZY. You would have itching that would be worse at night and most likely wake you from sleep, because it itches so much.

Answer:
I didn't itch at all when i had scabies ALL OVER my schlong.

Answer:
Well then I don't think you had scabies. You don't just get them in one place. And when you treat them you have to cover yourself head to toe with a treatment, not just one spot. They are a parasite that digs under the skin and an earmark of their infestation is extreme itching.

Answer:
i don't quite think its scabies too. i'm hoping it is!

anyone have any idea? do ppl with herpes get that all around redness when they masterbate? do they get that glossy, shiney penis head?

do they get that prune looking, wrinkly penis head?
