Question: I'm XXXXXXX about 3 days ago I was having sex with my girlfriend. for a second it felt like something bit me down in my genital area by the base of my penis shaft on my scrotum. about an hour or 2 later that area on my shaft got swollen and very itchy to the point wear it felt kinda painful. then my lymph node started swelling up to the point that it was painful and difficult to walk. I was able to reduce the swelling by massaging it. it's now been about 4hrs. later that evening I go to the restroom n take a closer inspection of the inflamed area.. I notice a tiny hole that's very hard to see like the tip of a sharpens pencil. I gnite it. a little later I look at it again and that tiny area by the hole is turning grey. I go to sleep. then next day my lymph nodes have reduced in size but the the tiny area of skin that's turning grey has turned black and has gotten bigger. still itchy around it... but swelling has him down . now today I noticed the black area has started to become a scab and is breaking off. I put antibiotic cream on it to prevent it from stinging to bad which it now does since its now basically a open sore or leasion. I will attach a current photo is this something I need immediate attention to or a std? I would like your thoughts please. thank you for your time.. sincerely XXXXXXX

hmmm. I accidentally sent this twice.. though the first dermatologist said something way completely different .. also there was Zero rash bumps or blister just a sudden swelling of scrotum in a few hours bad the skin suddenly for the better lack of word. "dying". but since you recommend me to get it looked at I shall do that right away. thank you

So went to the doctor . she said it didn't look like any type of herpes lesion she's ever seen but similar to a syphilis chancre but doesn't believe that it is because she a chancre is usually bigger deeper yellowish and painless while mine was smaller shallower pink and painful (it stung a lot) and that it may have been a friction burn of some sort though and gave me antibiotic ointment for it and penicillin shots just in case even though she's never heard of a std that had quite the same symptoms the hole turning grey then black n spreading like decaying skin thing... and had a full panel std screen test and will have results soon

herpes 1 virus

Yep. thank you for your advice. I am better now if not for your advice i would not have known.
