      Hello
      I’ve had issues for a couple weeks now with tingling or itching in my urethra, redness and itching on my testicles (skin). Was treated as a uti and chlamydia/ghon. That helped with urethra. Itching and redness continued. I Went to two places and they said no herpes and Tests all came up negative for anything. Couple days ago I got a rash which is in the fold of my skin. It wasn’t as bad at first but I work outdoors and that seems to have irritated it.

      This looks sort of fungal to me – have you tried any antifungal medicine? Did the clinicians that saw you talk about that as possibility? They are in a better position to know if this is herpetic than I am, honestly.

      I tried some jock itch cream the last day or so. The sore has mostly healed already (prior to the cream). So it wasn’t there more than a couple days. There’s still a tingling thpe sensation towards the head of my penis. The last place I went the doctor or nurse kind of mentioned it out loud wondering if it could be fungal. But didn’t say anything more about it. I’m going to try to get back in there today, was hoping to have been able to have that sore swabbed but that doesn’t look like it’s going to happen now. I also have had itching in and around my anus. I’m at least somewhat relieved you said it looked fungal. Hope that is the case. With those symptoms and that rash, do you still think it is fungal? I’d like to have some real info to go in there with today in hopes of finding something out definitively and finally end this anxiety. Thanks !

      It looks fungal to me but again, I can’t be certain. The location of the rash/sores suggest a fungal infection but I can’t tell you one way or the other for certain. Swabbing now may not yield an accurate answer as the sore is fading.

      How long ago was your last sexual encounter?

      You may wish to test at 4 months to be certain this was not herpes. Its an odd place for an outbreak but no impossible.
