Burning groin/scrotum

fhd
Six years ago, a few days after being with a girl naked but no sex just close rubbing.  I had an intense burning feeling under my foreskin, this spread to my pubic area and the whole area under my boxers.  Went to loads of doctors and a Derm and they all said it was jock itch?  Anyway after a few months it went away but I always had a slightly tingly scrotum occassionaly. It also affected me bad at night.

Now six yeas on it has come raging back, been with my current girlfriend for 4 years.  Changes are new boxer shorts that I think were a bit tight, change in detergent and possibly using too much and stress from moving country new jobs etc. Doesnt really affect me at night just all day, like my scrotum is on fire and I am sitting in bioling water, been goin on 4 months.  Baths help a lot.

It affects my buttocks, buttock creases, groing, hips, belt line and scrotum, pinches, burns, biting feeling.  Sometime goes away sometimes itchy but mostly burning.

Do you think the two events could be linked.

I have been to the docs 4 times and he reckons nylon reaction after trying canesten cream for almost 6 weeks and doxycycline for 2 weeks.

What questions should I ask the doc?  Dfinite its not a standard std because have been fully checked and have no burning pee, discharge and the doctor got really mad at me because I kkep asking, he didnt sugest testing.

any help much appreciated.

This forum has a variety of similar symptoms but based on what I've read through this forum it appears that this is a SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED FUNGAL infection of some sort with me! Don't listen to HSV explanations if your symptoms are like mine. I believe this to be true because I got minor relief to this with Nystatin and Triamcinolone Acetone cream (used for fungal infections on the skin).
Clammy, itchy, burning groin and balls like nano worms live on the surface is due to contact, in my case, with vaginal fluids! My girlfriend and I were active for years with no issues. We broke up and we hooked up, with a condom, about two years later and I almost immediately had the symptoms that do not go away! The worst thing is I gave this to another sexual partner that really did not deserve this.
Also, the minor relief I received to the Nystatin and Triamcinolone Acetone cream was due to constant re-infection from the partner who I gave it to. Now I'm really about making sure she and I get better together. This is like a super fungal infection that is still very low on the radar where a diagnosis is concerned. Especially if doctors aren't even looking for it. I will try Diflucan next and see what happens. :/

Also the first time it all went away after stopping meds and just kind of forgetting it.

Also my scrotum can get very red and when it does there is a defined red border that never changes.
