01 Nov 08 STDs - Facial Symptoms after Oral Sex?
Question:
I performed oral sex on a man and he ejaculated on my face. It was on
there a few minutes before I wiped it off, and I noticed that it was
irritating and stinging my skin. Less than two days later, my chin
broke out with red bumps (only like 4 of them) and I have a sore on my
lower lip that’s very irritating.
First of all, let me tell you this – this is not a common occurrence after oral sex, so you’re right to be concerned. There are few things it could be. Have you ever had this reaction before? If not, it might not be related to the semen at all. It might just be that your skin was already irritated for some reason and the semen just set off a little reaction.
It might also just be a zit outbreak.
But what it sounds like is that it might be herpes. Yes, you read that right. Even if he didn’t have sores, you can still get the herpes virus from your partner. I would hope you talked with him first about whether or not he was ‘clean’?
In any case, it’s a good idea to get yourself to a doctor. Chances are good that it’s nothing at all. Rashes can happen at any time, for no reason at all. Most of them just clear up and go away forever.
But since this happened after sex and it seems to be an isolated incident, it’s probably best to get yourself checked out – and talk with your man about whether he’s been tested for STDs lately.
Good luck!
