Burning Iching Scrodum

I had a STD test done about 20 days ago now and everything came back negative. I Ran into my ex-WIFE 14 days ago And had protective sex with her . I got my test results back 2 days before we ran into each other at the bar. I used a condome just because i do every time, after we have been divorced . She informed me the next morning after words she had Contracted Herpes I freaked out! I got Up washed off with soap Hot water Hydro peroxide and used rubbing alcahol on my scrudom and the surounding Areas! I started to ich and a rash on my scrodom the morning she told me she had it. It's been 14 days sense i slept with her and i still have that rash and im still itching down there. But i have been washing and using hydro/Rubbing alcahol ever sense that day. Could the rubbing alcahol and hydro peroxide cause a red rash on my scrodum? I'm getting tested tommorrow again for HSV-2 in the morning. just wanted some feed back and maybe a little insurance it isnt herpes. There are no red Bumbs no blisters no sores down there. it just burns and itches

herpes igg blood testing is the more accurate testing. it needs done at least 3 months post encounter in order to be most accurate.

the herpes igm test is a very flawed test. Current CDC recommendations are that it not be drawn on adults for the purpose of diagnosing herpes. in theory it would reflect a newly acquired infection but the ones we currently  have aren't accurate for doing that.

hard to tell at this point if you just overly irritated everything, have a fungal infection or just what. continue to follow up as needed with your provider for symptoms.

very low in general, especially when a condom was used.
