Off and on over the past couple months I have had "jock itch" which I treated with an OTC cream and it went away. Last week this came back and Monday I exercised in the morning and in the afternoon a bunch (25 or so) small, pin head sized red pimple like bumps appeared in my pubic area. Of course this freaked me out a bit as I had protected sex with a new partner in February and I was fearing I had caught something nasty. I went to my GP and she said it looked like Folliculitis and game me an antibacterial cream and said if it wasn't gone in a week to come back and they would dig deeper into it. Since the visit the itching and burning from the jock itch has gotten quite a bit worse, it is mainly on my testicles and my inner thighs below my penis, while the folliculitis is above. Question is, could the fungal infection be causing the folliculitis and should I not be using the antibiotic? Should I continue to use both the antifungal and antibiotic at the same time (I have read this is not a great idea)? Do I need to go back to the GP or see a Dermatologist or just continue treatment as suggested for the week then decide?
Thanks,
