Rash in Prubic Hair

by Brownsfan2005, May 09, 2005 12:00AM
I have a Small circle in hair of penis only one. But its more upwards towards the stomach in hair and mor to right leg.
It doesnt itch much and it doesnt seem to bother me. Im a virgin could it be a STD? Thanks.

I can't tell anything from that brief description, but it doesn't sound like an STD.  STD's rarely present with skin rash in the pubic area.  But if the problem persists, see a health care provider.

Good luck--  HHH, MD

I can't make a specific diagnosis, and in any case you don't provide enough information about the nature of the rash for me to even make a guess:  itching, flaking, moist vs dry, bumpy/raised vs flat, and so on.  The location, of course, is consistent with jock itch, but I can't say anything more.

As I said, I can't say anything more.  I don't make specific diagnoses on line.  You need to see a health care provider.
