Can Redness In Penis Suggest Herpes?

I had sex in late may and the condom broke. The girl said she had herpes and to check myself. I went to a doctor and they said I will have to wait until July or earlier if I get symptoms. I got myself checked out this past Tuesday. He took a look at my penis and asked if I shave or chronically masturbate because the redness can indicate start of herpes. Since then I have been very anxious, I I don t have an appetite every liquid I drink I quickly urinate, I have diarrhea, and have been having a constant nervous feeling in my stomach. My penis is still pretty red, I cut done on masturbation, but it is something I am addicted to so I still have done it twice a day. Besides burning in my buttock because of constant diarrhea the past two days, I haven t noticed any herpes related symptoms besides my red penis, I havent had any burning,itching or pain nor any blisters.

Hi,
Welcome to HCM.
Nothing to worry. Redness of glans penis normal during erection as there is increased blood flow.
Redness present with flaccid penis may be due some irritation due to soaps, cleansing agent, antiseptics or some topical applications. Redness in Genital Herpes may be associates with manifestations, not present redness alone.Nervousness and diarrhea may be due to fear of STD and not directly related to Herpes. Diarrheal infection can cause burning over anal region. Consult your doctor and get examined and rule out STD and get away with anxiety.
