If you've been diagnosed with jock itch, go with that. Don't worry about herpes.
And seriously, check on assistance programs. They can really help in situations like yours.

i am on prostatitis meds & as of tomorrow i'll be using Lamasil. my mom & i spent so much on medication. i just wanna be better. i hate this experience. i just don't want to get my hopes up and then fall back again like i am now. i was entirely better or so i thought. i been going on walks but it is hot out and i get sweaty which can irritate i am sure. possible even cause chafing. the duel effect of prostatitis and jock is so unpleasant. i have had it before. it stung and was irritative. it was on the inner part of my leg not penis. i never experienced chafing and this went away so much quicker. i read hsv1 & 2 and i guess cause i haven't had puss and it would have shown signs long before and the fact their not raised lesions and aren't that pussing i should relax. it just sucks going through this for so long. i hope lamasil does me a miracle. i know herpes is reoccurring. this thing is being so dumb. i hate it. i appreciate any other advise. thanks
Joch itch and rash are the same thing.

thanks a lot Jess. my mom is looking into medications and speaking the our pharmacist who is a friend of my mom and our family. i appreciate everything. is jock rash & jock itch the same thing? i saw jamestown's post and i am concerned with a few things here. two doctors were in agreement through out this experience. all said it wasn't herpes but they said a rash or skin irritation which is a rash. any way, i found jock itch online but nothing about jock rash. i was told about sprays by Dr. Vaughn and Dr. Kinsmen who both were in agreement. Dr. Kinsmen was awesome cause he was saying i was wired on anxiety and stress as nobody was being helpful.
Since you don't have medical coverage, call your local health dept and ask about assistance programs, medicaid, etc.
You'd be surprised, and you might qualify for a lot of things.

well, its jock rash or something similar combined with prostatitis. my father's had prostate issues which increases in my account ten fold. i am christian and i keep guilt tripping myself over this. before this event i was uncomfortable with intimacy with a woman. in all honesty i was insecure and now i am so guilty for being so dumb. you never know how good you have it till you lose something. its almost been 3months. the problems with rectum pain disappeared. the last doc said it could be hemroids as its a sharp pain that disappears. i know my father has had this problem before and i noticed my brother who is twenty one told me he has had a sharp pain before. i have no coverage and my penis is uncomfortable with both the skin and other. i had shedding on the top before but none recently. i got told cause of the cream and possible the clomatrodrim. i went to the doctors so many times. its so scary. i just wonder if this when i get told you know? i am so ambivalent about seeing the specialist. i just want too know i can go back to my old life but not back living in blissful ignorance. i researched herpes which is what i am terrified and prostatitis. i was pretty sure i am fine from my main course of fear but then i got this reoccurance and it sucks. i hate this. ironic though, it started mostly having stopped my medication and i have been running which may play into the greater significance. Jess, you owe me nothing and i feel forever in your debt. i was never as bad as jamestown but i did reach some lows and i could relate. i never believed in fear till this in my life and it consumed me. it sucks. any help, advise or anything. my mom's been working so i haven't got my meds. will 2mw. i want the cream. using fucidin too. i have appreciated your help. thanks for everything.
