Rash on genitals

[Francis]

Last October, I had an encounter with a prostitute (dumb, I know). We have been rubbing our naked bodies for a few minutes, there was some direct genital-to-genital contacts, but no penetration at all (and no oral sex).

About 3 weeks later, I got some abrasions on the lower side on my penis. Doctor said it was not a STD and gave me some antibiotics. Then, about one week later, the abrasions have been cleared but my skin went red and itchy at this place and on my scrotum. This lasted for about two weeks.

I did a STD checkup at this moment: nothing found. No fungus. The doctor said it could be an allergy, but I cannot find the cause. I did also a HIV test three months later, which came back negative.

Now, about 3 months 1/2 later, I have again this red and itchy skin which has re-appeared since two days.

Does someone have any idea about what can cause this? Could it be Herpes, although I had no blisters?

Thanks.

It does'nt sound like an STD. sounds like regular jock itch. If you wear briefs, start wearing boxers. After drying from shower use a powder for jock itch. If it persists, go back to the doc.

P. S. There is nothing "dumb" about seeing a prostitute, IMHO they have to make a living just like anyone else. What was DUMB was not having a condom on. Reguardless of penertration.

But a jock itch is a fungu (?), so it should have been detected the first time I had this rash. But the doctor took a sample of my skin and said there was no fungu...

N0t necessarily true. There are many kinds of rashes and fungi. They can't test for them all and would not. Just change your underware type, shower daily, dry well, dust with medicated powder and if it does'nt go away- go to a skin doc.

I think it may be coincidence that these symptoms are showing up...and probably caused by something completely different. I lived away from home for many years and upon returning had a 'jock itch like' rash about a week after I got home. My mother used fabric softener in the wash. I only use vinegar which works far better anyway. Guess what? I was allergic to something in the softener and hey, it gets warm down there! I put on underwear untouched by 'mothers chemical ways' and solved the problem. Check for allergens...you may be surprised!
