assistance

when i go through the list of symptoms and manifestations of std's, then what i've got is strange. resistant rashes attack all the pubic regions on my body more especially on the tighs and buttocks living black spots. thinking it was normal skin rashes until i realised the same manifestations on my wife. we did the siphilis and HIV tests which results were negative and even went further for Retarpen inj x4 weeks treatment which hasn't help? frustrated now. Guess someone out there has got a solution.

Hello,
As you have mentioned that this rash is affecting both you and your wife so it can be due to contagious causes like fungal infection or bacterial infection. I suggest you to get a culture and skin biopsy done to confirm the diagnosis.

It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your dermatologist. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
