Hello Dr.’s
Below is a detailed
description of my situation. As of 2/25/19, I’ve been living with constant upper
thigh, lower back burning/itchiness, lip burning/tingling and redness sunburn/tingling
feeling of penis head and urethra burn. Could these symptoms be HSV related
even though I haven’t had “classic” lesions or any other STI?
July 28, 2018….. Kissing/Received unprotected oral sex from
an unknown promiscuous female.
Within 10 hours, bad urethra penis burn/pain.
July 30, treated for Gonorrhea/Chlamydia at Urgent Care
tested for all STI’s ….results negative Hsv1 IgG (0 .09) Hsv2 IgG
(0.06).
Aug 6, Burning persisted, back to UC. Swabbed for Gonorrhea/Chlamydia
prescribed Bactrim (Sulfameth) referred to urologist. Test results negative
Throughout week, experienced body itch and random hives that
quickly appeared and disappeared, lip burning/tingling and tongue soreness. (Bactrim?)
Was on 20 days total.
Aug 10, Urologist diagnosed penis symptoms as Prostatitis.
Aug 21, Saw Dermatologist (Physicians Assistant) for burning
lips and itchiness tested HVS IGM and IgG again, prescribed 4 valtex pills just
in case…tests negative (no value). Asked about pin head size brown spot on penis
shaft, told it was a mole. Prescribed steroid cream to use for lips, didn’t
help.
Began experiencing itching/burning soreness of upper
thighs/lower buttocks and tailbone area, burning penis persisted. Penis head/scrotum
was red like sunburned with small raised dots that would come and go. Also
facial twitching
Sept 21, STI retest ……all negative
Oct 15 Back to Urologist, prescribed Levaquin. Told symptoms
not STI related
Oct 29, STI retest (added
mycoplasma and HSV Swab)……All negative
Nov 21, ENT appointment for lips/mouth. Full visual exam,
nothing found. Referred to Oral Surgeon Pathologist.
Dec 6 retested….all STI tests negative but tested positive
for Epstein Barr. Urethra burn reduced but not gone.
Dec 19 New
Dermatologist, prescribed “Desonide” to use for lips, didn’t help. Saw no
visual issues with thighs or penis head. Prescribed moisturizer. Looked at “mole”,
told nothing to worry about.
Jan 29 At follow up, Dermatologist biopsied “mole”, result
“Condyloma Acumination with Atypia”
Feb 2 HSV IgG 1-2 and HIV retest. All negative. Hsv1 IgG
(0.19) and Hsv2 IgG(0.16)
Feb 19 Oral Surgeon/Pathologist after visual exam diagnosed
me as having Burning Mouth Syndrome due to stress related event
Feb 25. Been using Jock itch spray powder (lotramin) on
penis head and scrotum. Seems better but not 100%, all other symptoms persist
including slight urethra burning.
