Blistery itchy rash

I feel like a fool! I had unsafe sex on monday night and now I woke up 36 hours later with a rash. The  rash almost looks like acne where it's dark maroon in color and it has little white heads that itch. It's not a conected rash, they are just spots like acne. It's around my groin area, but only at the base of my genitals. The rash seems to have started away from my genitel area and then showed up at the base so far. I havn't noticed any discharge or anything internal. It seems like it''s only the area where her skin touched up against mine a lot. I did notice that she had some soars on her, but not around her genitel area. I do feel a little sick to my stomach, but I think that's because I am very nerviouse about this rash. Very very nerviouse. I tried some anti fungle cream this morning, but there is no resolts so far. It seems to be only itchy when touched though. Let me know what you think.

I think you have folliculitis, or blocked pores, perhaps from the sweat and friction of sex.  Rather than drive yourself a little crazy with worry, why not see a doctor as soon as you can (walk-in, STD clinic) and get a proper diagnosis.  If I'm right, then you really don't even have to treat it, because it will go away.

And avoid unsafe sex--the risk and anxiety aren't worth it.

Take care.
