this is not a std issue at this point war.
if you aren't getting better, return to your provider for further evaluation. nothing more we can add at this point.
no more posts on this in the std or herpes forum please.

Grace the steroid cream is not working, It says use a maximum for a week. Can I stop using it for a few days then use it again for another week? Also what other OTC creams can i buy for this pigmentation? Steroid cream doesnt seem to be helping.....
Going to buy some OTC steroid cream, How long do I apply it for because ive read its bad for the skin? If that doesnt cure it, Im not going to know what else to do.
war - how many freaking times have I told you this isn't herpes going on?
arginine doesn't trigger herpes ob's either , in fact they are using it to treat herpes at this point in some studies.
really, get herpes off your mind!!!
if you still have symptoms, return to your provider for further assistance. there is nothing we can do online at this point to help you.
Grace and Vance, its helped my itchy genitals, but my penis head still feels bruised and still has the yellow spot there, Ive used the cream for 2 weeks now, its really really annoying me that Ive still not been diagnosed.?
Its a follow up to my original post.
Follow up with herpes questions on the herpes forum please.
Grace I just took 4.5g of l-arginine and 10 minutes later I have the same leg pain I had a few months ago which I believe was due to high amount of stress and anxiety and I have lower back pain. Ive read that arginine can cause herpes outbreaks, so me getting leg pain and bad back 10 minutes after taking it could be an outbreak coming on?
The rash is still coming and going Grace, today it has come and gone...The cream has stopped my itchy groin and testicles, but still have the rash on penis glans and still feels as if it bruised...? If its not fungal what other things could it be?
the topical steroid helps reduce redness and swelling.
OK Grace if its not gone by monday night ill seek further advice, I really do hope I havent been mis-diagnosed, they wouldnt of prescribed me anti-fungal cream for no reason right? Also what does hydrocortisone cream do as my cream contains that aswell?
you've had this rash for awhile now. be patient. if it's not showing improvement after a week, call the clinic and ask for further advice.
Jess and Grace Ive been using it for 5 days now and no improvement?
Also how long should I use it for?
Just got back from gum clinic and was told that its the chemicals in the washing powder.....LOL and was prescribed Canesten cream:
Clotrimazole 1% w/w
Hydrocortisone 1% w/w
Will this help me out Grace?
gum clinic will take care of fungal infections for you too. they handle everything down yonder as far as I understand.
Ill post what he tells me tommorow, and Grace in the uk would they prescribe me something at the gum clinic or would they then refer me to my gp? For instance if it was jock itch would they send me to my gp because its not a std?
you've had multiple posts now on the herpes forum about your situation. You won't suddenly get different answers over here. really as I've said before, unless you get + test results, really nothing else we could possibly add to help you at this point.

Ok thank you he said it could be yeast fungal friction etc.... Havent had any obvious herpes symptoms (No blisters, swollen glands) I just hope they can help me and diagnose me.
You shouldn't worry about what they'll think about you -- you should only worry if you come back positive for anything.
once you test for herpes, move on with your life and away from STDs.
Jess Ive had all tests come back neg apart from herpes which I havent been tested for , Yeah im worried that they think im mad. And its driving me mad I think ive got jock itch but havent a rash or anything
Hi
We are not tarrot card readers. STD testing results can dictate what is going to happen. i.e that you'll need treatment or that you can go home.
Also, Your worried a medical provider is going to tell you its nothing? You should be worried that they are going to tell is its something.
