Well, I couldn't stand it any longer, so I went to the emergency room, hoping they could give me something to tide me over til I could reach my gyno... and surprise, surprise, I had a yeast infection... a pretty bad one due to diabetes. Yep, they diagnosed me with diabetes on the spot. Blood sugar was 346!!! The sugar in my urine was off the scale, highest reading possible was 1000, and thats what it registered, might've been even higher. So that explained the weird rash. The sugar in my urine was eating up my skin!
I'll manage... going to my regular dr Tuesday, and I have some prescriptions and stuff to help til then.
But wanted to update for all of you, like I promised... a word of warning: got a strange rash you can't explain? Get tested for diabetes!
Thanks to everyone for their help and advice... (I am relieved it wasn't anything serious like and std or anything! Diabetes can be managed.)
i know this is really gross to think about but it might be scabies... they come up are red bumps that it and get irritated and will flake away skin if scratched. they will speard sometimes quickly and sometimes very slowly taking up to 6 wks to even see a symptom somehwere else on you or on your partner. if that is what you have then you will get a one time treatment from your dac and your partner will need too even if he has no symptoms. give your sheets a good cleaning and dust and clean your house very well. i hope this helped but the treament is just a one dose hair and body shampoo so it would help put a stop to the pain and itching and cure it for good! good luck and hope this helped!!
well im stumped, im praying that your pain gets better! hopefully its not serious and your doctor can give you something to clear it up quickly
good luck again
He's clean, and has no cold sores or anything... I'm pretty sure I'd know, as we've been together for three years now, and have lived together for nearly that long. I'm almost sure it must be some sort of infection or reaction to something (Although I don't know what kind of reaction it could be cause I've not changed anything I wear, or any soaps or foods.) I hope I didn't pick something up from a public restroom!
Oh, and it doesn't seem spreadable, as much contact as I've had with my fiance... Well, we sleep in the same bed, anyway, so I figured if he hadn't shown any symptoms yet, he probably wouldn't. It's been about 4 months total now, I think. It just seemed to spread to my left underarm which was weird. That part is getting better tho.
To answer the question, yes, the bumps are rather painful, and except for two or three loners around the outside of my labia... where my thighs meet the groin area... which are red, most stay skin colored, with the skin around it being red, and even peeling at times... all the way back to that skin area between the anal area and the genital area. Which is why I've had to go back to using vagicaine today... I know it says not to use it for more than 5 days, but I just can't help it, the pain is nearly unbearable. And desitin is just too messy.
I went without underwear for the past week to see if it might've been a reaction to the elastic or something causing it, but there's not been much difference.
I wouldn't say they are clumping together, as much as they seem just naturally really close to each other... they don't seem filled with pus or anything, either.
I really appreciate the kindness, and yes, as soon as I hear from the doctor, I'll post a message letting everyone know what the diagnosis is, for future reference.
does your partner have a cold sore, or had a cold sore lately? you can get genital herpes from a cold sore if he performs oral sex on you, to ease your mind a bit, herpes wont last for 3 months without going away, usually its 10 to 15 days, the only way i see it being this is if he still has a cold sore, and it continues to inflam the infection, im sure it isnt this i just wanted to let you know that it is a possibility, are the bumps you have extremly painful, or developed into sores at any point? i think it was very smart of you to make an appointment,
another posibility is that you had some sort of reaction to something, i had a similar experience as this from monistat 1, but it only lasted for 2 weeks, hope you get this figured out, you must be miserable, keep us posted on how it goes
