6 month rash on scrotom follow up
In December 2007, someone named uptownnotown posted some questions about a persistent rash that started on the scrotom following a safe sex encounter with a condom.
I've had a similar rash that has persisted for about 4 months now. My PCP initially perscribed a compound with Chlotrimazole and Hydracortizone, which seemed to make it worse. I then switched to a mixture of Chlotrimazole 1% mixed with vasoline and this didn't make it worse but it didn't get better either. I've since switched over to a calamine powder which seems to keep it under control but it doesn't seem to be going away.
I had a dermatologist look at it and he told me it was called "red sack syndrome" in laymans terms and that the antifungal creams won't help and that I should just keep using the powder and hope for the best. Not an answer I was happy with.
Given the coincidences that I find more than a couple of us have had this following sex with a new or different parrtner I'm really wondering if this is some type of STD and has anyone found a way to cure it or treat it more effectively.
Specifically, I'd like to know if "uptownnotown" from December 2007 ever found any relief? His description of this condition is virtually identical to mine. It started on my scrotom and has now spread to the shaft of my penis.
Hope to hear back from you soon.

Have you found anything out about this? I've been having the same symptoms for a year! Please help
the best thing to do is to send that person a private message here on medhelp. odds are they aren't checking the forum any more to see this.
