Folliculitis
Hello,
For about 8 months I've been having folliculitis on my thighs that won't go away. It was initially accompanied by a burning rash that covered my elbows and stomach area. I saw a dermatologist and she preformed a culture that came back negative. Ive now developed what seems to be folliculitis pimples on my forehead. I haven't had unprotected sex besides with my boyfriend. Ive had oral encounters, but none that completed in my mouth. Im wondering if this sounds like a std or Hiv.
