What is the treatment for tingling penis after unprotected sexual contact?
Patient: A few months ago i was on a trip to Montreal and went to a erotic massage parlor. Might have been the biggest mistake of my life now that I look at it. im so depressed about this any way. the woman gave me a hand job and nothing more. It was a fully naked one so her naked body was on my body but not in a super sexual way but more sensual. she rubbed her breast on my but her vagina never touched my skin from what i remembered. After my session I had a tingle on my penis that wudnt go away. I figure it was due to the warmed oil that she used. A month or so later I had a few little bumps show up near the shaft of my penis. I was scared and went to the clinic immediately. The doctor instantly told me that this was Herpes and I would have it for life and i could infect a woman and destroy her ability to have kids and that I needed to take some pills for a week and then buy more later on. I left the clinic feeling like committing suicide because of this doctor . It felt like he was reading from a play book or something. Any way the bumps turned to scab and went away. Also my anus began to hurt at times as well. the tingly feeling in my penis never went away.. it stayed there for a few weeks and might have went down a bit but always came back. I began changing my eating habits and did a full body cleanse. I did not take the medicine that the doctor ordered me too. I just didn t feel comfortable doing so after his horror story. after a month and a half everything went away and the tingle went away for a bit. but wud sometimes happen again after i masturbated or had sex with a condom. i went back to eating the same and smoking and not working out as i did. and after maybe 2 months now I have the bumps again. I wish i could say that this is just sum fungus from my lotion or from something else. I still haven t got a official test which I will be getting next week. can you help me to understand why i have the tingle constantly and is that something normal with herpes cases. Also why is it that right after the massage i had this tingle. i m really depressed and I am somewhat of a well known figure in my community so i dont know what to do with my life at the moment. Doctor: HiItching or tingling on genitals or around anus is a symptom of herpes.There is no cure for genital herpes. But the symptoms can be lessened and prevented with treatment. Treatment can also reduce the risk of infecting others.Antiviral drugs like acyclovir is used for treatment.You can get a remission by treatment.      When symptoms recur, they usually come on during times of emotional stress or illness. That's because, during these times, your body's immune system may be less able to suppress the virus and keep it from becoming active. There are also things you can do to avoid passing the virus to other parts of your body, as well as to other people. Take these steps:Don't kiss when you or your partner has cold sores.Avoid oral sex when either partner has oral or genital sores.Don't have genital or anal contact when any sores are present.Wash your hands with soap and water after touching infected areas.Don't wet your contact lenses with saliva. There are things you can do to relieve the discomfort and severity of the symptoms during an outbreak. Home treatments include:Take painkillers such as aspirin, acetaminophen, or ibuprofen.Bathe sore areas with a warm salt-water solution twice a day (1/2 teaspoon salt with 1/2 pint warm water).Let air circulate around the sores by wearing loose-fitting clothes.Put an ice pack on the affected area. Wrap the ice pack in a towel or piece of cloth.Get plenty of rest.hope this may help youthanks
