Ok so I'm a 17 year old male high school student. And I'm a bit worried (or paranoid) that I might have type two herpes. I know I should go and talk with my doctor but I want to see what I can find out or is anyone knows anything with what might be going on. So about 3 months ago I think, I began noticing some small red dots on the head of my penis, but I never really thought anything of them. My father has type one herpes and as far as I know I don't have it. About a month ago I engaged in unprotected oral sex (bad idea I know) for the first time. More recently (over the last 2 or 3 weeks) after I masturbated I noticed that the inner foreskin was a bright red like it was irritated and the head of my penis has some red almost rash looking spots. As of now it is hard to tell if there is a sore or not but I cannot see one easily. Also recently the head of my penis has been itching. And from all that I have read much of what is happening to me seems to be some symptoms of the type two herpes virus/disease. Now I've been watching it for about a week (and done nothing to irritate it (i.e. masturbating)) and the redness of the foreskin has disappeared but the rash is still there. And I have also noticed small cuts in the skin making it painful to retract the foreskin. My original thought was that was because of a tight foreskin but after all this I'm beginning to think I might have type two herpes......and to be honest I'm scared because the more and more I read the more and more it seems to me I have it. I hope to god I don't but it is a possibility I must face. If anyone out there knows more or happens to have had a similar experiences or any advice (other then talk to my doctor which I will do if nothing changes in the next week or two) please tell me. I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you.
