Mild carpet burn feeling in penis, thigh after sex.

Resolved Question:

48 hours ago I received protected oral sex from a stripper. I did not see any lesions or sores on her mouth. The act was quite teethy. Earlier a portion of my penile shaft felt like it had mild carpet burn, it subsided. Now the outside of my right thigh feels that way. Should I be concerned about herpes?

Hello,
Thank you for your query at DoctorSpring.com
I understand your concern.
The symptoms you mentioned are not suggestive of herpes. Herpes presents as a rash involving the scrotum and the anus, and there will be sores in the genital areas and thighs. The burning outside the thigh could be from the penile cut, as any irritation to the penis, can cause such symptoms.
If she did not have any open lesions then it is unlikely you would get herpes from her.
Also, you had protection on, so the chances are absolutely miniscule.
Please do not worry.
Feel free to discuss further,
Regards.

Hello,
You can get yourself tested for HSV-2 IGM after 2 weeks from the exposure.
