I have a rash on my scrotum that occurred about a day after having sex. It is about ten red splotches, some bigger than others. None of them have a lesion or any broken skin, but Im concerned that it may be herpes. I also have a varicocele on the side where the rash occurred. Can you give me an indication of whether this might be herpes?
Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor. I can certainly understand your concern. I have worked through your query in detail. As per your symptoms, the possibility of a fungal infection of the scrotum is very high. This can cause red blotches on the penile and scrotal skin. Moisture may enhance these blotches.It's advisable to consider a short course of antifungal antibiotics like Terminating and clotrimazole for symptomatic improvement. Avoid sexual activity until the symptoms resolve. Please check with your physician if he shares my view and if you can prescribe these medications to you. Post your further queries if any. Thank you
