Can’t tell what this is

This open wound came up yesterday and hasn’t really improved. The small white thing below it came up today. I’ve had little the little red dots on my penis head before and they usually went away after cleaning my penis. I’ve had one sexual partner in the last two months and she has had Herpes 1 in the past but she got an STI test come back “out of range” back in June. We’ve had unprotected vaginal and oral sex but she never had any symptoms showing during the two months. Is it balanitis that just got irritated with friction? I work outdoors and I’m sweaty down there pretty much all day.

Urgent help.

2 days ago I received unprotected anal a lot more roughly than I had agreed to. I’m a male.

I’ve never been pushed to that limit before so my hole hurting was normal my stool was normal. but today 2 days on I passed a good mount of light colored blood. My lymphatic nodes near my groin are swollen, last night I had a fever for an hour or two that went away. Today I have muscle soreness kinda like when you have a cold. I also have a very sore throat.

Edit: I gave oral sex aswell.

Please help, I live in a country where it’s very shameful and HIV can get you deported.

I am afraid to die :((

I didnt had sex, but a friend borrowed me his buttplug with vibrator. I didnt put it inside me but I used it outside my ass to feel the vibration, I kinda pushed the tip but thats it. I didnt loved the feeling so I stopped using it after finishing and gave it back.

He is not virgin but he doesnt look like he does have any STD. Also he washed the buttplug before giving it to me, and also it hasnt been used in 6 months aprox.

Id say im safe, but now, 2 weeks after that, i woke up with struggling to poop and burping a lot. Id say it ia unrelated, but today also I got a slight fever, I just took acetaminophen to see if it helps. Now I dont know if im overthinking or if those things are related to that :((

I don't have pus, blood, or vomit, just struggling to poop (I do manage to poop, but I have to strain, and only a little comes out.), burps, slight fever, and I struggled to eat because I feel full.

The AI told me i should be safe since its been 6 months since it was used and it was clean, also the material was ABS so I should be fine, but then I don't know why I did got sick 2 weeks after that. Is it just a coincidence :(?

I don't wanna die :(((

And I cant go to an hospital because my family would find out and theyre ultra homophobics and they unironically would kick me of the house if it happens :((((((

How would a man know if he has HPV-16?🤷🏻‍♂️

It honestly feels like a silent time bomb because you could have no symptoms and have no idea you're infected I've read that HPV-16 can increase the risk of penile cancer how would a man know if he has HPV-16 in his last exposed?

What can this be

Hi everyone I’m back and a bit worried my last encounter was six weeks ago and got an normal std test for the big 5.

But since a couple of days I’m getting strange red little bumps on my glans and forskin. Some of them do have some white in the middle and it comes of quite easly. Is not a real liquid but also not solid.

There is no pain or itch or anything. Is it harmless or can it be an sti?

Is this Herpes?

Recently has unprotected oral sex with someone. My penis has no evidence of an STD, but I noticed these bumps on my lip
Potentially related, I was hit in the mouth on Saturday during a concert that caused the inside of my upper lip to bleed and be sore for days. These appeared yesterday morning and this is how they look today

Do I need a hiv test ?

I fingered a woman at a massage parlor for maybe 5 seconds max she was dry and I had some oil on my
hands, she also jerked me of for maybe 10 seconds until I felt anxiety and left. The thing is I had a small cut from pulling skin away from my finger but it was not actively bleeding and it was at least a few hours before or even the day before it had bleed. How much of a risk did I put my self in and should I wait 3 weeks to get a test and how safe would that test be ?

Hi need help knowing if this is an sti/std?

Foreskin has been swollen for about a week and half. Went to the clinic and they said it looked like prosthitis more than anything, gave me a steroid and anti inflammatory cream. Fast forward a week the swelling has gone down a bit but it's still a bit swollen and pink. Could this be a misdiagnosed STI? Getting worried. No discharges or funny smells or other sores.

I’m worried I got stealthed (non-consensual condom removal

I could really use some opinions because my anxiety has been bad. The other night hooked up with someone. During sex, he suddenly stopped. When I looked down, the condom was already off and in his hand. I remember asking him what happened because I was confused, and he told me he had just taken it off after he stopped. At the time i thought it was very strange and I tried not to think about it. But i keep replaying the situation in my head. I'd never experienced something like that before, so it really caught me off guard and made me start questioning whether I had missed something in the moment. I helped placed the condom on myself in the very beginning but when I laid on my back I was looking at the ceiling and then I closed my eyes to relax and try and enjoy it. Then a minute or two in, he stopped and that's when I saw no condom on. He was still hard and the condom was in his hand (I didn't see it though). I asked him where the condom was and all he said was “it’s in my hand”. When I asked him why he stopped, he said “I don’t want you to feel uncomfortable”. Which confused me even more because I literally consented to sex (protected though). I'm worried he removed it fast before I could realize right at the very beginning. I'm taking PEP for HIV prevention because I have bad health anxiety and I'm worried it was unprotected sex. I also took a plan B. I'm just worried I fucked up and he'll speak about me because I kinda freaked out on him (we are the same ethnicity). I think sex felt different too, but that could also be my anxiety talking. After months of celibacy, just wanted to enjoy sex and I'm left with this horrible feeling. I know I’m taking the precautions I can right now. But for some reason I am terrified of catching HSV2 from unprotected sex. Any thoughts? What are my risks? He told me he stopped (after asking him again), because he wasn’t ready for a relationship and stopped because “I deserve better”. Why does my gut think this is a cop out and he could have done something suspicious to me? I got baseline STI testing a few days ago. And I’m going to see my OB in 4-6 weeks. But the waiting game is killing me. One other option is that he was about to stealth me, not that he did already. But I’m not sure.

HERPES??? PIMPLE??????

I don't see anything, and I don't feel any burning or tingling; even if I press down hard, I don't feel anything.
I don't know how long it's been there; should I wait a while to see if it develops into an ulcer?
My last oral sexual encounter was four months ago.

Scared! Please Help!

Hi everyone,

I'm really anxious and I'm planning to get checked by a doctor, but I wanted to ask if anyone knows whether this situation is considered a realistic way HSV could spread.

Two or three days ago, I met a guy. He had what looked like it might have been a bump near his mouth (I don't know if it actually was herpes). He touched his face, and about 10 seconds later he fingered me in a river (I know crazy.) He did not perform oral sex on me.

Today, I noticed two hard, red bumps on my outer labia on the hair-bearing skin. They are:

  • Separate but fairly close together
  • About the size of a pea
  • Deep and hard under the skin
  • Tender when I touch them
  • They've gotten a little bigger since I first noticed them, one is smaller than the other

They look like deep hard red bumps.

I know no one can diagnose me online, and I am going to get examined. I'm just wondering:

  1. Is HSV transmitted from someone touching a possible cold sore and then fingering someone?
  2. Do these symptoms sound more like an ingrown hair/folliculitis or something that should make me more concerned about HSV?

Please be kind. I'm really scared and would appreciate honest answers rather than judgment.

Dryness, itchyness, pink tissue, red scrotum.

Hi guys in February I had protected oral and vaginal sex with a sex worker. 3-4 days later I started experiencing some urinal problems and like feeling of wetness at tip, itchyness, all around sensitive penis skin and corona, red scrotum etc. (Im circumstanced)

Started using clotrimazole for a week didn't really help. Got tested 7 days after encounter and tested negative for literally everything and some blood test (pcr tests)

After a week or so it kinda tuned down to until where it started again after couple of weeks. Again red scrotum, feeling of wetness at tip and dryness of penis(especially noticeable when penis is hard) Out of panic I started taking doxycycline and for 10 days plus had a shot of ceftriaxone.

Got tested again 7 days post medication, and negative for everything. The only thinf I haven't tested reliably so far is HSV. It was included in my previous tests but only via urine pcr(if lesions are present in urethera).

Anyways what got me really worried is I seem to have dry skin on my penis from then, it's lasting for a couple of months now. Looks like dry powder, sometimes there is so much of it, it looks like someone put powder over my penis head and also the dry skin cracks and peels and there are 2-3 bearly visable kinda more pink spots at my skin near where skin of base meets the head. Sometimes its better sometimes worse but always it is visable during errection. When penis is flacid it is not visable. I sometimes have itchyness on scrotum.

Here are some NSFW photos. Please help me what could this be? Should i retest?

Here are some photos from week ago. Taken at different days.

Bear in mind on some days it looks completly normal(no redness, but dryness is always present when errect)

First three photos are from Februray this year while the others are ranging from 3-4 weeks ago up to now.... Thanks for your help...
