Had unprotected sex about a week ago, yeah I know not the brightest thing I've ever done. Anyways about 3 days later I fall asleep on my couch and feeling fine. Slept for about 3 hours and when I wake up I notice my legs are itching. Every day I itch a little more and a little more and it's starting to take my body over. It's not a bad rash but it just barely speckles my skin red and I look kinda blotchy. I thought maybe it was scabies but I'm not seeing any of the burrows that the mites make. I have had that before but this doesn't resemble it. Have been putting ivermectin on it and it's still to early to see if it's making a diffrence. Any ideas? Also during the day it doesn't seem as bad but when I lay down at night it eats me alive. Nobody else in the household or my friends house has said anything about it so I'm thinking it's not too contagious. I notice it's more or less on just hair follicles too. Pls any adice would be greatly appreciated!

I could be a fungal infection? Try an over the counter preparation called, Clotrimazole Cream, it’s the same cream used for Thrush, keep applying it for a couple of days after the infection clears.

Well it was on my arm and stomack and on my ankle. The patch on my arm has cleared up and gone away but down around my belt line it still itches off and on. When I walk and my pants rub my stomach it feels like I have fiberglass down there. I also noticed the spot on my ankle has grew into a ring around my ankle. It's just a big red ring around my ankle and my legs still itch a little. I have put everything on me to try to get rid of it. Bleach, Kerosene all kinds of chemicals, it just comes and goes as it pleases but I think it is going away. Could this be some kind of interaction with new laundry detergent or something? It sure was scary and I have learned my lesson. I'm still a little worried about it though. It doesn't get on my upper torso I can't figure it out. Will keep you updated.

You'd better go to see a doctor. You need an answer as soon as possible.
