hi doc. sending this question as i am nervous over a condition which has just started over the last few days in my groin region -- on both the inner sides of my thighs and inner sides of my pubic hair area where the groin and thigh meet as well to the right of the scrotum at the bottom.
the area in question has had pink spots (mostly centered around the hair follicle) which eventually dissipate and/or turn red. no blistering, oozing, itching or pain. slight tenderness - yes but nothing to really note. i started to break out with these over the last week in which i was on vacation in florida on day 4 and 5 out of 6 days in total. in florida, the tempature was hot and very humid.
i went to a walk-in clinic today as that was all that was open and the doctor who examined me asked a few questions on whether i felt i had a temperature or felt sick which i responded no to both. she then took a look at the area and said it really looks like jock itch to her. i asked if it could be viral and she said no. she didn't bother to take a culture either. (she was young also.) i used econozale this past summer to help with the heat and she recommended i continute use of this for a couple of weeks and it should clear things up.
reason why i am posting to this forum is because i had a sexual encounter about 10 weeks ago where i received a massage, genital stimulation and some kisses & licks. so, got me to wondering whether this might have something to do with my current condition.
this website has been great in providing direct answers for the most part so i thought i would try here as other sites provide vague information. here goes:
1. do you think what i describe sounds like herpes?
2. should i get tested?
3. if so, when?
4. could my encounter mentioned above be responsible for current conditions?
thx
