Little Worried..rash between fingers, redness on penis Posted: 12-14-07 16:32pm
I'm somewhat worried about possible
exposures I've had. First, I had
unprotected sex with a girl I'd been
dating for a month. She's 19 years old. It
was my first time and lasted only about
thirty seconds. We did it again the same
night for about another thirty seconds.
Less than a month later I made out with
and recieved oral sex from a woman I'd met
at a bar. About six days after this
encounter I got flu-like symptoms with
fever, swollen lymph nodes in my neck,
swollen gums and fever blisters. I had
never had fever blisters so I'd figured
this was an initial exposure to oral
herpes. The blisters went away in a week
as a did the swelling of the mouth. I lost
about 7.5 pounds during this period but
I'm guessing it was because I could hardly
eat for a week because of the swollen
gums. No weight loss since i resumed my
diet. I had taken antibiotics for it
because the doctor diagnosed it as strep
throat. Right as I got better, I started
working out really hard an going out and
drinking. This lasted about a week and a
half until I began to feel really
light-headed and fatigued so I started
taking it easy. It's been about a week
since then and I developed a slight rash
between my middle and ring finger on both
hands. It doesn't itch...it's just
slightly dry and uncomfortable. I also
have slight redness on my penis which
doesn't hurt or discomfort me in anyway.
The doctor said it was balanitis and gave
me a cream for it. Any advice?

Any help would be really appreciated..I'm
starting to get really freaked out. I
didn't get these symptoms all at once as
they were spread throughout a month with
the rash by the fingers just a couple days
ago..no itching though. Again any reply
would be really appreciated.

I lost the weight in about ten days but
the only thing I ate in those ten days was
pretty much soup because my gums were so
swollen and I couldn't chew. The hand rash
is really light and it seems to be
covering up with dry skin right now.

its not normal to loose or gain that much
weight in that short of time
its extremely un normal and you need to
get to a dr asap for that

75 right?

7.5 lbs is not much weight at all in 10
days if all you were eating is soup. A lot
of those healthy weight loss diets make
you lose 5 lbs in a week, so loosing 7.5
lbs in 10 days due to illness is not
unusual. The dryness between your fingers
could be from the weather if you are in a
cold climate. I wouldnt worry about having
aids, but if you have had many sexual
partners it's always a good idea to get
tested every so often.

Thanks for all your help guys.
Now that I think about it I probably lost
the weight over a period of three weeks.
THe only thing I ate was soup for the
first 10 days or so and then my appetite
slowly started coming back but I still
wasn't eating as much as before after the
initial ten days of the flu symptoms.
I do live in a cold climate where its been
nothing but snow and coldness since I got
sick.
As far as partners..I've only had one
partner who I've had vaginal sex with one
time and three others who I've gotten oral
sex from one time each. This is over 21
years.
