Doctor,
I returned from Thailand in late December. While there i received a hand job. Upon my return two weeks later i developed flu like symptoms and was put on Cipro. I also took multiple STD tests gon, herpes, chlam, syphills, hiv, hep. Negative. Shortly after taking the medicine, not sure if it is just a coi ncidence, but I started experiencing a burning sensation sometimes severe in my scrotum area. MY PCP believing it is a reaction to the cipro antibiotic has proscribed multiple creams both over the counter and steriod prescription to treat a fungal infection. lotrim, excozla, niastan, etc. Its been a few months now, and the treatments dont seem to be working. She finally referred me to a dermotolgist, but since i have an HMO, i have to wait another month, scheduled in early April 07. Since then i have retested for the same STD just in case (11 weeks after exposure) and they have all come back negative again. I am getting very concerned that this condition is taking longer to heal than normal. Could it be a stubbern fungus? She also tested my for prostatis, didn't see any problems. She has run multiple blood tests and urine tests, all normal. I am getting frustrated and my anxiety level has been thru the roof. Do you think if i keep applying creams and hang in there it will eventually heal or could it be an internal problem.
