Suspicious lumps and bumps, genital warts?
Question: suspicious lumps and bumps on pubic area, first appeared after i had shaved, but i fear they’ve spread due to shaving which has opened the sores, any idea what they could be? thought they were ingrown hairs at first but now suspicious they’re genital warts, not in any pain etc, just not very nice to look at. I shaved over all shown marks which i believe has caused the scabbing so doesn’t really give a clear indication of what it is, there’s some mild discomfort but not any drastic itching.

Answer: Hi. The appearance is not like Genital warts but more like hair follicle infection or Folliculitis or ingrown hair. You can apply antiseptic ointment over it. If it does not improve then a swab culture and blood test can be done for confirmation.
Thanks.
Hello. There is redness, fluid buildup and some scabbing. Are you sure there are no other symptoms like itching? Fever? Are you sexually active? I recommend you consult and rule out STDs. A PCR, blood test for herpes is recommended. Could be just Ingrown Hairs or Folliculitis. You should be able to see the ingrown hair underneath the sores. Herpes would normally be associated with burning or itching. Blood test and culture swab would rule out Herpes.
I have been tested at the two week mark and was negative for all STI’s but I have a red lump on my neck?
I recently had a sexual encounter with a prostitute in (—) about 5 weeks ago. I wore a condom for receiving oral sex off her and during sex but I did give her oral sex.
I have been tested at the two week mark and was negative for all STI’s I’m currently waiting on results from a 4 week test.
My main concern is a have a red lump on my neck which developed about two weeks ago. It hasn’t gone anyway and barely improved since I initially thought it was a pimple so I tried popping it several times. It leaked clear fluid for a little while and bled a lot when I eventually popped it. Since then I have picked at it a lot but nothing else has came out. It layers itself with dead skin a lot but that’s about it.
I am concerned this could be a chancre from what I’ve read online these normally appear where you’ve had unprotected sex and rarely on the face etc. Is it possible to have one on the neck?
If so could other people catch it by simply touching it with their hands, arms or another part of their body via no sexual contact at all?
The lump is about two inches down from my ear and is completely painless. Slightly raised above the skin and I wouldn’t classify it as an open sore but I am not sure.
Thank you

I had a couple of blisters on my lip & a burning sensation in my mouth?
In 2015 I went to the obgyn because I had ulcerations on my vulva. Along with that – I had a couple of blisters on my lip & a burning sensation in my mouth & could only consume milk for a couple of weeks. The OBGYN did a swab test on the ulcers on my vulva for herpes as well as a blood test. Everything came back negative. I have had nothing similar since. 4 days ago I had oral/vaginal sex. A singular blister appeared on my lip 2 days after. There is nothing abnormal in my genital region. What could be going on?

No
General Information: In 2015 the dr felt as if my issue was a complex yeast infection (oral sex, vaginal sex, then oral sex again). I visited the obgyn a month prior due to not having a period for 3 months. Within a span of a month I had the previously described sexual encounter & then started my period – which is when all my symptoms began. When I went for the swab test I also had 2 endocervical polyps removed that we did not know I had until my exam. Since then I have had no issues even remotely similar other than the removal of another polyp about a year ago. The sexual encounter 4 days ago was the same with the same person as before (oral, vaginal, oral, vaginal). Two days later is when the single blister appeared in the almost corner of my lip. No pain or anything. I’ve been monitoring my private area and there is nothing abnormal in that area thus far which makes me feel like it is isolated to my mouth.
Maybe my doctor made a mistake, is this even balanitis?
This incident happened approximately 7 months ago – I had sex with a woman who had a bad reputation for sleeping around a lot. I used a condom however the condom broke midway and didn’t realize it until we were done with having sex. When i saw the condom broke i freaked out. I took a bottle ofScotch/whiskey (like an idiot) and washed my penis with it hoping that i wouldn’t catch any diseases. 2 days later my penis was feeling different and got a rash. (either from her or the whisky)
I went to the doctor around a week later and i got tested for most common STDs – All came back negative. The doctor said i have balanitis and he gave me some anti-fungal cream and i did that for a few months and not much of a difference happened, after several months with no change i was prescribed a stronger anti-fungal cream and still no change. After no change, i used a steroid cream (Hydrocortisone 1%) still there is no change.
My penis used to be so smooth and pink in color, now the infected area has lost its color and not smooth anymore. I keep it clean all the time, shower everyday washing the penis with warm water even after i urinate.
It does not pain, i never had any pain. I did have inflammation on the forskin initially but that is gone. My only problem is the Rash. I have tried multiple products, yet nothing seems to work. The redness tends to get darker at times but the rash is still quite visible.
Maybe my doctor made a mistake, is this even balanitis? Will this ever go away ? I have been depressed, i cannot do anything except masterbate. 7 months without sex, i have lost the motivation to go to the gym. I have wasted so much money on various products.

Had low risk exposure to hiv. Had 4 tests – 4th gen 20, 36 and 95 days. Also rna at 26 days. All neg. Have small post.cerv lymph nodes, many dr’s examined and all smaller than 1 cm so they’re not concerned. I had unprotected sex with my wife 16 days after event. My wife had a nose bleed 70 days later in presence of my toddler. My toddler got full body Rash. ive been told i’m conclusively negative but terrified i infected my whole family. Please help. What does ARS rash look like? Dr. said it’s just dry skin but it started on stomach and chest, then moved to back, then arms and thighs. Stomach and chest better now but thighs stronger, so its kind of moving. 12 days now. Since I was told I was conclusive I neevr told pediatrician. does my daughter need to be tested?

Yes
General Information: I had no symptoms besides the small lymph nodes. I first felt the nodes 30 days after the exposure so tested again at 36 days (4th generation). I was told the combination of those tests (20 days 4th gen, 26 days pcr/rna, and 36 days were conclusively negative by infectious disease specialists. I tested again for peace of mind, full std panel, at 95 days. All negative. But I’m terrified somehow my baby got infected. My exposure was no inter course, but there was some fluid transfer as my fingers touched myself after being in her. Also she put her fingers in my butt for about a minute and she may have had her fluid on her fingers, im not sure.

I had yeast, UTI and severe itch. Was tested but no STI?
A day after I 1st had sex, I had yeast, UTI and severe itch. Was tested but no STI. During monistat 3, I still had sex (sometimes oral and unprotected) and had cuts, burns and itch. After, everything better but itch outside lingered. Was given Diflucan and Clotrimazole. No help. Miconazole 2% helps me. Partner not treated (claims no symptoms) we use latex lubricated condom. Every time we have sex (oral/vaginal) I itch outside. Is it still yeast & should I use Miconazole.

Why does my syphilis test have a point value of .4 -.6?
Why does my syphilis test have point value of .4-.6 what are the differences in the 2 test? the syphilis treponomal igg and the syphilis treponomal igg interp. I do have a negative rh factor. the first time i was pregnant i tested positive for syphilis and the retested my blood and it was negative. My obgyn sent my blood to a specialist and said it showed up as a false positive because of the negative rh factor. I don’t understand why there is a number on the test. does everyone have a value range? is there a difference in negative and non reactive ? or do most people just get the phone with the results saying you are negative or positive for tests and I have access to online testing so i see more than most people do?
