Folliculitus Gone Bad?

[scarlettparkside357]

I had sex with my partner a couple of weeks ago and a day or two later he complained of itchy red pimple like bumps on his groin area and testicles. He said this had happened before with a different girl he'd had sex with, and it was caused by my bacteria interacting badly with his own causing folliculitis. He started taking a topical antibiotic and applying that once every 8 hours. The bumps started to go away but keep showing up in different places (face, armpits, side, arms). It's not a colony of bumps just a few here and there and it seems once they go away in one place they show up in another.

The bumps on his groin area and testicles were almost gone and we had slightly rough intercourse using a condom. A day later he said his testicles were broken out with the itchy bumps again.
Any idea what this could be?

I have none of the above listed symptoms, it's just him. I also just recently got tested for STDs and all my tests were negative.

many  bacterial infections can be transmitted from person to person as well as to other body parts. Your bf needs to go and be seen monday and get a proper exam done.  no more sexual contact until you have better answers!  

he also should cover his bases and get a type specific herpes igg blood test done too. odds are he never properly followed up on herpes testing after his initial diagnosis of folliculitis so it's worth following up on.

Folliculitis can be brought on by many things: heat rash, moisture, bacteria, etc. Folliculitis is non specific and can be one of these things. Antibiotics can heal them or control them and sometimes folliculitis goes away on its own.
