monkeypox, herpes, something else?
wellshoot replied to wellshoot's topic in HIV/AIDS & Sexual Health Issues
I meant to say general physician (GP) but I was exhausted and abbreviated wrong. In any case fair enough on the speculation I was just curious if anyone had some ideas -
Looks like I caught something finally, on the edge of the glans corona (the bottom edge of the head). I just can't figure out what it is. It started as a small pinprick of a red dot, then gradually got bigger, about the size of a pea maybe. Then another appeared next to it and they sorta merged, got a cauliflowery look, formed a scab which peeled off and now it's all red and puffy there - the same two spots have been doing that in a cycle for about 3 months. Now a 3rd red dot appeared closer to the tip, which is now growing bigger by the day. It doesn't look like what I saw in that twitter video linked in the other thread but 3+ months seems a bit long for herpes, no? Anyways, I got an appointment with a GC, which went about as well as can be expected in a town my size (eye roll). Going in to get tested and treated for whatever it is will be equally fun, I'm sure. Just wondering what you lot think in the meantime.
