This is a herpes forum but you can post this question in another forum for skin issues
Is it normal for jock itch or fungal infection to weep like this? It smells terrible.
This began weeping yesterday late afternoon. Smells bad, I bought Lamisil and still using powder to keep it dry. Still only exists on my inner thighs and scrotum.
jock itch is a fungal infection. A topical steroid cream won't help it get better. since your appointment get cancelled, why not pick up a tube of jock itch cream and apply it twice a day for a week and see if it helps instead?
does this sound like herpes? No it does not. A newly acquired herpes infection can occur on a larger area like this but this really sounds like a fungal infection and not herpes.
Be sure to change out of wet clothing when you get home from work to help decrease irritation and to remove the conditions that help fungus to thrive.
Well doc appointment got cancelled. This sucks
Thanks again for the information
Again having rashes on both sides is not indicative of herpes as those with herpes have outbreaks only on one side and for sure the scrotum area is not a place for outbreaks as the skin is to thick.
Just to be clear, The cortaid did not help clear these bumps. Only helped the itching on my scrotum
Ive had them myself and are very annoying but do see a doctor for concerns about herpes to ease your anxiety. A simple swab of the area or a blood test.
Thanks. Seems very aggressive and difficult to get rid off
Prickly heat rash can cause them for sure and thats why the cordaid helped as it would not help ease herpes sores.
Try wearing some looser cotton pants to avoid friction.
So jock itch can cause these pimple sized red bumps/blisters on my inner thighs?
Hi, let us know what the doc says but from what your describing it doesnot appear as herpes at all for many reasons. Long term herpes sores appear only on one side and for a recent infection the area is not correct as first time sores appear at point of contact like the penis shaft or pubic mound area and are not white. The scrotums skin is too thick as well. Sounds like a typical case of jock itch.
