important question

Why are there SOO many people on this board that have constant symptoms of something yet they don't get the obvious lesions that crust over and heal but they have the painful skin and nerve pain that NEVER goes away and nobody can help them. No doctor no specialist nothing they all treat you like its nothing and don't care about how much pain you're in or if you tell them "this looks different and its not going away, it didn't look like this before". Is everyone on here a hypochondriac fearing std's making symptoms up themselves? Lol like honestly is It bc people obsess and get scared after they make a mistake and regret it which causes weird stuff to manifest on your body? Cause I've honestly never examined my penis until I made a mistake and that's all I do now is think about it ALL day long wondering why I'm in pain and why my skin looks different, almost raw and sticky feeling like I could press the skin together and it would stick. I just don't get it at all makes no sense never heard of anyone going through this ever until I went on this website. Most depressing thing that can happen to a person.

So u think this is fungal? Isn't it easier to go away for guys though? Everytime I go to a doctor tho they don't even test for fungus, how do u run a test for that so I know its that and I can treat it. Do I just need more then 2 days of diflucan? That's all I had b4. What about the chafing feeling somwthing on inside of my thighs

getting rid of fungal infections can be an ordeal sometimes :(   I know I myself have already needed to treat for a few months to get them gone as well as I have patients who have fungal infections constantly.  

no reason to think any of this is herpes. Absolutely none of your symptoms are herpes related.

I was using nystatin and diflucan though wouldn't it of been gone? What do u use to treat bacterial infections? Plus how would that explain the weird chafing feeling on the inside of my thighs too? None of it makes sensee to meee atleast ppl with herpes have an outbreak then it goes away. This is never ending symptoms.

many of the posters on the board are experiencing psychosomatic symptoms.  Most find their symptoms disappear completely once they get their negative test results back.  

your symptoms are more consistent with a fungal infection than a std though some bacterial infections can also cause stickiness. continuing to follow up on symptoms with a dermatologist at this point is the best course of action.
