Hello,
Generally skin fungal infections are contagious. Although it does not look like a fungal infection, yet to confirm the diagnosis, get a KOH examination of the skin scrapings done. If fungal infection is confirmed then it can be transmitted.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
Thank you for taking thi time to reply, I saw my doctor yesterday, he gave me a dirrerent cream and said to use it for a month, he also told me I cannot pass it to my wife. But my question is that if he doesn't know what it is how can he be sure? Should I refrain from sex?
Hello,
These symptoms can be due to dermatitis skin. Avoid using any lotions and creams for the meantime. Wash the area with a mild cleanser with moisturizing properties like Cetaphil. Then apply a good hypoallergenic moisturizer over the area and wear cotton clothes. If the symptoms still persist then please get it evaluated from a dermatologist.
