My girlfriend was originally thought to have HSV-1 after severe burning in her Vag. This was only decided after she'd tested positive for it on a bloodtest. Unfortunately (or fortunately), if you've EVER had coldsores in the mouth, especially recently, you'll test positive for the HSV-1 antibodies.

This being said, we were both sickened over it.

I myself had only 2 symptoms, but it seemed obvious enough that it could be HSV. One was an itch or two a couple times a day and little round small random spots of dry skin that appeared to have a shinnier color underneath. The 2nd was a round/ovalish spot on the head of my penis that looked like very dry or dead skin. When I scratched the dead skin off it flaked, and underneath was raw wet skin that was painful like under a blister. It seemed to take longer than normal to heal, although it never developed any kind of crust or scabbing like HSV is said to have.

She was put on Valtrex to see if her burning would clear. After 7 or 8 days of Valtrex treatment her burning had only gotten worse. They decided to call her back in, and said that if it were HSV it would've started to improve by then. They then decided she had another yeast infection.

My question to you all, and the Doctor is what are the symptoms of a Yeast infection in men? Does this itch, the dry round patches, and the one that became raw underneath fit the symptoms in men?

Any help is appreciated.
