In July of 2021 I had a encounter which a few days later I noticed some cut like openings in my crotch between my leg and genital area. I freaked out and about a week and a half later was the soonest my Dr could see me he said doesn’t look like herpes. Swabbed it but came back negative but this is close to 2 weeks later so maybe they were to healed or maybe It was from washing in the shower. Shortly after I started getting patches of red rash on my buttocks and back thighs also began experiencing a severe nerve pain starting in at the inner corner of the bottom of my right butt cheek. 5 weeks I got my blood tested negative. Again at 8 weeks also negative Dr says red patches not herpes doesn’t know what is causing the pain sends me to dermatologist. Dermatologist takes a biopsy of my buttocks rash determines its some random eczema like rash. In between the 8 week Dr visit and the dermatologist I also got a what looked like boil one top of butt crack took a picture dermatologist said looks like staph. I since I’ve had a few of them never got them before. I finally at 8 months go to my Dr still suffering from the pain have excepted the rash have him test my blood one more time it’s negative he sends me to a neurologist for the pain. neurologist is gonna have me do a MRI in a couple weeks. But recently as in last week I ejaculated in my pants and was not able to change and shower for about hour and a half. The next day I had inflammation on a patch or my scrotum and on the left side of my foreskin which is very painful and all of a sudden my other pain seems to have almost gone away. This is day 4 now since experiencing this and has me really freaked out. I before last July was all around healthy. Good skin no pains unless I over exercised. I’ve also been tested for every other std as well all negative. This foreskin and scrotum inflammation and pain really has me worried also that the other pain in the buttocks is more a 2 out of 10 rather than a 10 out of 10.

When you keep posting new things, it moves the post down in order. Best not to do that.
Nothing here makes me concerned that you have HSV and the negative tests and medical evaluations that you’ve had confirm that that is very likely NOT herpes.If you have pain that is severe in the testicle, that needs immediate evaluation. Herpes would not cause severe pain in the testicle.

Sorry for the delay, I have COVID and it’s been very hard to work.
if you want to be extra sure about not having herpes, you could do the western blot
But really, I don’t think herpes is the issue here, but sometimes, more reassurance is helpful. See if one of the docs you are seeing would be willing to work with you on this. And hopefully, the MRI reveals another cause for your symptoms.Terri

Sorry you are suffering with this pain again.
If you are still concerned about herpes being the cause, you could obtain a herpes western blot to be far more certain.Terri
