Genital Herpes

Detailed Answer:
Hello

Thanks for the query

It is possible that you are suffering from genital herpes, however to know for sure I need a little more information

1. Did you get fever?
2. Is there pain while passing urine?
3. Have you ever had genital herpes previously

Red veins over the scrotum are normal and are not indicative of herpes

Please get back to me, I am awaiting your reply

Regards

I did go to the doctors for herpe scare. Got a swob, urine sample and blode test. Ofcourse everything came out negative; to soon. I felt like I had a fevet, but didnt. I got light headed got a rash in my growing area no blistering. I had pressure in the left middle of my back for an hour at one point it made it difficult to breath for a brief sec. Didnt burn to pee, but burned a little after. The head of my penis was very sensitive for awhile. My left hamstring was sore wlong with my buttox, forearms anr my left calf would spasm.

hello

thanks for getting back, I am sorry for the short delay in my reply. I was on call at my hospital

The symptoms you are having is most likely to be of a viral infection however it does not look like you are suffering from herpes. These are flu like symptoms which also explains the light headedness. Here are my suggestions to you

1. Tab betahistine is the ideal drug to be taken twice daily for 7 days for the light headedness
2. Anti virals are not indicated as you do not have fever and most viral infections are self subsiding . Also they come with a lot of side effects

Watch out for blisters and drink plenty of water.

I hope i was of help, if you have any further queries please get back to me

regards
