would receiving oral sex cause such a rash? I have an appointment with the dermatologist tomorrow.
I did have prostitus last year, that is why they tested my PSA levels. Im just wondering if its some type of other std that i am not aware of, but I will try the eucerin or aquaphor. Could it be coincidence that this happened right after I got back from asia. Could this be something that could be contracted from receiving unprotected oral sex.
I have read horror stories that people battle this for a long time on these posts
I thank you again for your feedback. I think I will still make an appointment with the dermatologist
at your age, usually we diagnose prostatitis by a manual exam of the prostate more so than checking psa levels. just a fyi.
aquaphor or even eucerin cream. anything that is mild and will moisturize irritated skin. just avoid topical steroids unless told to use them by a doctor. they can thin the skin over time and cause more troubles!
rashes can last for months and months depending on the cause :( At this point you've treated and treated for fungus hence why I suggested perhaps it's time to just treat for irritated skin.
Thank you fro responding so quickly. I received my results yesterday from the doctor that it was not herpes, my PSA results came back normal as well, so that was a huge relief. I will look to see if i can find the aquaphor that you had mentioned. Anything to help relieve the discomfort.
I think I forgot to mention that I also had some pain what seems to be the lymph node area and the buttock area on the same side as the rash, is that anything to be concerned about?
I try not to worry about it, but this has been going on for almost 7 weeks, is it normal for a rash to take this long to clear up?
Thank you
herpes won't stick around this long relatively unchanged. no reason to suspect herpes as a cause.
at this point, a dermatologist would probably be a good next step. meanwhile, apply a good moisturizing cream like aquaphor to the dry skin areas and the rash and see if that helps it get better. At this point it might just be dry, irritated skin and not still a fungal infection.
