Rash on chin after sex

[Natasha0706]

I have been sexually exclusive with my partner for the past 8 months.  After having an all day sex fest, I developed a painful rash on my chin.  I've had skin irritations before because he has facial hair, but never to this extreme.  The skin is not only red but painful little blisters have formed.  After scrubbing my chin, I noticed after the blisters have popped there is a clear liquid that oozes from the little blisters before they dry.  What is this rash and how can I get it cleared up quickly to avoid further pain?

Post in the dermotology community, this has nothing to do with a STD.

you need to go and be seen and get this looked at. It could be many things but doubtful it's herpes or std related since it sounds like they showed up rather soon after sex?

I went to the dermatologist that next day.  She scraped the area and looked at it under a microscope.  She said it was an infection caused by yeast but it brought on in times of stress and sleep deprivation.  I asked her if it was contagious and she said obviously the spores of the yeast infection IF transferred to an open sore could be.  

The downside to this was the gel to treat it was REALLY pricey and was not covered by insurance but the dermatologist gave me a $25 card from the mfg. so that I could still get the prescription.  Now that it's starting to heal it itches insanely and is NOT cute.

I asked her if it was related to herpes and she said no because it was symmetrical from one side of my face to the other.  She said herpes outbreaks do not cross the center lines of the face (this was news to me).
