Hello,
While on vacation at the beach, towards the latter part of the vacation i started to notice a chaffing type burning/itching in my goin area. I have had this before but usually it goes away after a day or so. This time it continued to get worse through the rest of the vacation. Upont returning home i noticed very red semicirucular ares on either side of my genitals on my inner thighs starting at the crease between the thighs and extending outwards. The rash is red, with small red raised bumps but no blisters or pimples. It is itchy, and moist. I have started to treat it with lotrimin ultra, and keep it dry with gold bond medicated powder. After about 2 days of treatment i noticed 3 or 4 very small whiteheads further down my leg, and even found one on my hand. Upon squeezing them they produce a very small amount of clear fluid.
History, i have ulcerative colitis and have been on prednisone for treatment of that for 7 years, as well as imuran( an immuno suppresive for 1 year)
does this sound like jock itch? systemic candidia? should i let the lotrimin treatment run its two week course?
i have had had no other symptoms that would indidcate and std such as fever, pain or otherwise
