What's going on?
I was tested for STD/STI 3 weeks after a non-protected sexual encounter and tested negative for everything. The Dr. did a swab inside my penis for HSV/Chlamydia/Gonorrhea and a blood test for syphilis HIV and Hepatitis again all negative. Since then I developed an itch inside my urethra and a clear odorless discharge after I urinate. The Dr. prescribed Doxycycline twice a day for 7 days. A few days aftetr the cycle, the itch returned. Then I noticed that I got what looks like a rash on my penis head an like jock itch where my underwear rides; along with a oily “shinny” skin just below the head of my penis. This time I was given 10 days of Cipro x2 a day. I went through the Cipo cycle twice and the Dr. gave me a Nystatin cream for the rash, thinking I have a fungal/yeast issue. The Nystatin did nothing and he gave me a cream with cortisone or some kind of steroid in it. Still after two weeks, I still seem a little red on the penis and have the jock itch that comes and goes. There is also a slight irritation at the tip of my urethra that comes and goes, the Dr. though this may be the yeast/fungal. He did no test for yeast of fungal but through all this my question is… What is going on down there? And How do I get back to normal?
not unusual at all for fungal infections to return. make sure you are using the cream twice a day for a full week after the rash is gone.
Well, all seems well on the inside. No more irritation in the urethra. I do still get a hint of jock itch as the day goes on and the skin on my bottom still sometimes feels crawly, comes and goes. 2 days a go I noticed an itchy rasht spot on my inner thigh, smal patch the size of a silver dollar. It seems to be subsiding now but this is the second time it's come and gone in the past 3 months. I've tried several types of creams and powders nothing really cures it. Using Lamasil now...
this discharge doesn't really sound std related. if it's still there in a week, return to the urologist again.
I've still been having a clear odorless discharge from my urithra, but only when I sit down an go #2. But last night I ran my finger from base to tip on my urithra while checking out the discharge, and a cloudy lumpy substance came out. That was a little wierd. You think it's related to a yeast/fungal issue since I still have the "jock itch"? I'm using Tinactin powder spray but still feel rashy. All this time, nobody can tell me for sure that I have yeast/fungal or anything definitive at all...
alfuzosin for the prostate and I think the other is Uroline or something like it.
Aflu-something for prostrate and I forget the one for the blatter, it starts with a U and turns my urine blue.
Ok, thanks. I thought the probiotics and yougart would make it go away. I'll try a topical. Thank you for all your help.
probiotics and yogurt help to prevent fungus far better than they do to treat it once it's overgrown :(
I'd try a topical antifungal at this point.

The urologist prescribed some medications to relax my prostate and blatter. I still feel like my skin is crawling and moist around my anus, amd slight "jock itch" in my groin but no redness. She also did a blood test for herpes unlike my primary Dr. only doing a urethra swap, all clear. Really want the sensation to stop so I can get back to my life as it was.
That is one tough problem! I've been eating yogurt every morning and taking a probiotic. Make it go away.....
Three month STD/STI test came back negative. But my scrotum feels like it's sunburnt, any thoughts as to why?
Dr. Called today, all clear again. But off to the Urologist I go to find the reason for my slight iteh/burn and rash. UGGG!
Still waiting for my second round of testing to come in, Holidays... Anyway, I feel like I'm beating a dead horse so to speak, but, I've been experiencing a slight itch in my urethra that comes and goes. Also, a few minutes after I urinate I feel a slight burning sensation and the rashy looking red bumps still haven't gone away. I notice the bumps look worse after I shower and dry off, they are more prominent and a pink-ish reddish color. As I go about my day they seem to subside and get fainter. WTH are they and how can I get rid of them? Periodically my scrotum feels sun burnt, and I assure you I do not sun bathe...
Today I feel a little warm and jittery. A little sweaty and rashy between my bottom cheeks. I sure hope I have nothing more serious than a fungal/yeast infection from all those antibotics.
you shouldn't be having sex until everything is all cleared up regardless of the cause.
Thats a relief. Now to figure out how yo get rid of the fungal/yeast, if thats what's hanging on. I am afraid to have relations now not knowing if I'm passing something.
these are common symptoms with a fungal infection.
you seemed to be getting better without the steroid containing cream, perhaps give that a try again.

Any reason my rectom and crack would ne excessively sweaty and now feeling rashy? Related to other post symptoms?
