test swab came back negative. I only took one pill that day because i ended up putting the aloe on it like 3 more times that day and by the next day it was already gone. Im a pretty itchy person noramlly and have very sensitive skin but that scared the bajesus out of me.
i think im fine but the doc said if anything comes back then let her know.
Hello,
From the symptoms it looks like chafing skin to me but since the risk of STD’s is there, it is wise to get a complete std panel test done. Chafing occurs when the skin becomes irritated by the friction caused by rubbing – either against other skin or against a foreign material. Wash the areas several times with fresh water. Do not use any cosmetic products at the sites. You can apply some calamine lotion at the rash as it will help in soothing the skin. Also wear cotton undergarments. Application of mild corticosteroid cream and oral antiinflammatories like ibuprofen/acetaminophen are also helpful. If the symptoms are severe then it will be best to consult a dermatologist.
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.
okay i am new here so dont know how the forum actually works. i wanted to update but dont know how to edit. plus maybe this will bump my pst and shed some light.
went to the docs today and she didnt know what it was to be honest. she gave me a script for some herpes pills and took a swab but said since it looks just like a dry skin patch with no bumps or discharge she couldnt be sure and since there was no discharge there was a 50 50 shot at the swab being accurate anyway.
she honestly seemed as boggled as me. she said if i react to the pills then its possible it could be herpes but then again it may be a rash that just goes away anyway.
man im stumped. she hit it with alchohol before the swab and let me tell you that burned like crazy. I took a photo and would be willing to put it up but am unsure of the photo rules here. getting a bit worried at this point.
thanks
