I have no pain at all, never did and all symptoms are gone. The lesions I had don't seem to fit herpes but I am healthy and never had anything like that. I am fearful of passing anything onto my Grand Kids.
Thanks for your reply,
Happy New year!!

I have written down everything associated with my event. Sorry if I am taking to much space. I am simply looking to speak with knowledgeable folks.

Dr,

Oct /29/ 16 I had 20 seconds of receptive oral sex, two weeks latter two basically flat lesions on upper shaft of penis spaced ¾ inch apart and ½ inch down from top of shaft both had an individual red base. One had a shallow dimple in it and a shiny look to it with a pin size spot in the middle of the indentation. The other smaller one was NOT shiny and faded in 2.5 days the larger one took about 3.5 days but both had evidence of where they were on the penis for a couple more days. I really have NO idea how long they were there for their location was obscured by stomach, undershirt etc. I do know I had zero discomfort and at least one of the lesions was right at the spot where I hold my penis when urinating.
I tested at six weeks at Dept. of Health for all STI, neg but have not tested for HSV was told to early and test unreliable. I tested NEG for HSV 1&2 last year though.
Reading the net of course I came across a site that said if the lesion did not scab after it broke it would have a shallow indentation while healing. I find it hard to believe for days urinating and the location of these lesions that I would have not felt something or discomfort. The lesions also felt as if they had a thickness under the skin maybe as a pimple would feel, but again, no fluid, no skin breakage no pimple and no pain.
The two-other things that have happened is the penis gland became tender on top about two weeks after the lesion went., no sign of vesicles and this continues off and on now for over a month with no discomfort while urinating. The other discomfort is just one day of leg pain well after all this has gone maybe I am reading too much.
The main reason for my panic however is my Grand Kids. They are just one and two and a half and even though I am a guy, I cry thinking I might pass something on to them.
Thank you,
Happy new year!!
