1. Does this sound remotely like Herpes to you?
Not at all
2. Could this be recurrent outbreaks or could an initial outbreak cause damage to the skin?
I don’t think this is an initial outbreak or a recurrence.
3. Would the initial outbreak be on the penis shaft? I have had nothing on my penis.
Yes
4. As I received oral my concern has been GHSV1. Is this possible as I already have OHSV1?
that was my next suggestion – once you have HSV 1 orally, it is highly unlikely that you would acquire it genitally.
5. My dermatologist said that 30% of oral herpes infections are HSV2. Is this true? Could it be HSV2?
That is certainly not consistent with the research, not at all. Oral HSV 2 is rare.
