I noticed an outbreak of red pipmle like lesions.

[Rx100]

Hi Dr, In Oct of 2008 I noticed an outbreak of red pipmle like lesions. I got a number of them on the underside of my forearms,legs, chest , and just below my waist line.  I went to my dermatologist and he diagnosed it as folliculitis and gave me some cream.  It did no good what so ever.


2) About a three month later I went to another dermatologist and he said the same thing and he gave me Dyflucan etc.. .  At this point I was starting to get rather concerned.  A year prior I had had protected (Safe sex ) and had gotten myself into quite a rut over STD's, HIV, whatnot.  I got tested for HIV 3 times over the course of a year (4month, 6 months, and 1 year.  All negative).  So, up to that point I was certain I did not have HIV and both doctors assured me that this folliculitis was not due to HIV. But I am still scared. He assured me as well that this didn't look like and HIV outbreak.He did a biopsy and it came back saying there was no organism.  So he was toungtied and recommended I see someone else.


3) But why would I all of the sudden start getting them??  And why does it not go away with treatment?  I started getting them on the head of my penis (painless and itchless).  I don't notice any other symptoms of a possible STD.  I desperately want them to go away but they only seem to stay away with Emyacin plus this Benzac (which I assume is too harsh for my penis).  The doc didn't want to keep me on the oral medication any longer so he took me off of it.

Please tell me, to the best of your knowledge, what could be the cause of this, will it EVER go away (going on a year and a half now), are there any other treatments for it, or am I simply going to have to live with it?  Is there an underlying cause or am I simply worrying over nothing?

Please help.  I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks
