I had a frottage and my testicles licked by a gay person and received a hand job He said he was clean and works in dentistry field No intercourse
Frottage rubbing penis against anus and inner thighs rubbed too
oral sex (gland untouched) licking testicles and base of penis
Kissed body (neck, shoulders but not lips
Had tinea versicolor and jock itch before this incident. Following symptoms appeared on the same night and I took.a shower with coal tar shampoo. Jock itch became more irritated and sensitive and hair follicles became raised and white (Folliculitis?). The whole groin area and under belly became itchy maybe it is because of tight underwear or belt. Those symptoms were followed by other symptoms like three white bumps with white dry shells around them some had white pus, red sensitive anus, the same looking bumps appeared on my neck and beard, tingling on side of the knee something like muscle twitches, penis glans have different colors in some areas, lack of sleep due to worrying, non stop itching in the groin, soft pain in the testicles and meatus, fordyce in my lips, frelenum of penis, Pityrosporum like dots on my neck, back and chin, raised dry follicules randomly every where on my body, dry legs when the temperature was very low and bruises (thin cuts and one round red bruise), one cut on the groin again that resembles the one on my foot. Now it is 2 months after and I am still worried about that incident maybe it is guilt because it was my first same sex experience and my religion and upbringing is strict when it comes to these kinds of experiences. I am very worried because the groin/belt area itch is continuous from day one and its been 60 days since the exposure. The guy said he works in the medical field and get tested frequently and he is clean but I dont know of I can trust him or not. I have seen one white puss filled pimple in the middle of his chest but I have no idea what it is. I started using lotrimin ultra for jock itch for a week now and it is improving and I dont see any bumps or pimples in the area, all the slin problems I mentioned didnt cause pain or itchiness apart from the overall itch on the entire groin and inner thighs area. No flu like symptoms no fever no tingling specifically on bump area just the one in my leg lasted for two days. My mind is playing tricks on me some days I can swear that I don’t have herpes while other days I swear I have it. I forgot to mention I have fungus like stuff on two of my toes. Some of the question that come to my mind include:
- why the coincidence of those symptoms appearing after that incident?
- I read about herpes too much and heard some people get mild to no symptoms but they have the virus.
- The difference between oral and genital herpes on the genitals?
- I don’t want to get tested because I don’t think I’ll be able to take the news without loosing my mind. What do you recommend when it comes to testing?
- Can my symptoms be suggestive of any other std?
- I read about how you confidently tell people like me not to worry about catching herpes, i dont mean to question or doubt your experience but are there times you told someone they doesnt have herpes and they ended up having it?
- As I mentioned above, I read a lot about herpes I even consider myself having it and look for remedies and solutions to it in forums like reddit (I google symptoms too and I saw people who didnt have the classical symptoms but they test positive) is it ok to keep looking for pictures and experiences of people like me who are not really sure about their status?
- If I contracted herpes from that incident and my symptoms are that mild, am I going to have mild symptoms for the rest of my life or severity of symptoms change with time?
- How easy/hard is the herpes transmission?

Never had a cold sore.
2 months non stop groin and inner thighs itch non stop does that rule out hsv 1/2?
Is jock itch a sympotom for hsv 1/2?
Been using lotrimin ultra and it relieves it temporarily. Never had cold sores even when I was a kid.
Frottage low risk for hsv transmission?
Stopped masturbation and urethra pain is gone.
Does organ (liver)transplant require hsv testing? Is there a need for testing?
All of my symptoms disappear when I wake up or get distracted.
The person involved in the exposure told me he was on PreP doest that lower chances of transmission?
Does herpes cause upset stomach after two months?
Does my symptoms sound familiar with those who have health/genital related anxiety?
What is the longest can an outbreak last?
+2 months and no classic herpes symptoms rash/lesions/flu etc what are the chances % wise?
Forgot to mention I developed grooves or wrinkles on the penis glans that show up more when flaccid after masturbation. Think of small red stretch mark (one or two) no pain no itch
