I visited a massage parlor 10 days ago. I had protected sex. Had barely any skin to skin contact except my scrotum which, I am sure, at some point probably came in contact with her groin area or buttocks. Within 1-2 days I had an intense itching in one spot on my scrotum. Within 3 days my scrotum was red and rashy. On day four I had one spot on my scrotum that had raised up and looked almost like a masquito byte. It was in the area of my scrotum that touched my thigh and it was kind of burning. While I was in the bathroom I decided that I had definetly had something and I decided to spray Tanactin on my scrotum. It burned so bad I thought I was doing to die. The misquito bite looking bump went away immediately and turned into a flat red spot on my scrotum. The next day I went to the store and bought some lotromin ultra and the rash seemed to subside and by day 9 had really calmed down to a point where I could barely feel any itching. Somewhere between day 5 and 7 in between by buttocks and around my anus began itching and I developed what looked like infected hair follicles. Day 8 I began putting the lotrimin on the affected area of my buttocks and the rash has significantly subsided by day 9 before a second application of Lotrimin.
I am/was freaked out that I had Herpes. I have ordered a Herpes test in a couple of days at a local lab.
I had no fever, there were really no blisters (I think), with the exception of the masquito bite looking bump which I think was caused by my pinching and itching my scrotum, I had no headaches (except on day 9 (last night)), There was no pain, no lesions (except for the flat read spot that developed after I sprayed it with tanactin). No pain urinating. The major itching and symptoms where done and gone within a week really.
Question: What is your best guess....Herpes or Candidia?
