Does Discoloured Testicles With Pain And Itching Indicate Genital Herpes?
Recently I was in contact with someone who had hsv1 genital herpes 5yrs ago but has not had an outbreak in years. I had only made contact with her vagina and slightly entered her anus. She told me about her problem after a few seconds so I immediately washed off and put hand sanitizer as well on my genital area. A few days later I noticed my testicles were red and getting a dark color close to purple with a itch. I had no sores or pain at all. My other issue is that years ago I had an issue where fungus on the skin caused a skin abrasion to form on penis. This looks nothing like that, but I saw my symptoms are less herpes like but more jock itch or yeast infection like.
Possible viral or fungal infection of the scrotum, but the exact revealing of the nature must be carried out by physical examination with an expert dermatologist.
