Brief Answer:
Seems to be blood clot and will resolve in 2 weeks

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I saw the picture and understand your concerns.

Following is my reply:

1) This black spot seems to be due to blood collection in the area which might have happened due to a small injury or force / lovebite during sex.

2) Now this is in healing phase and has turned into black colour.

3) Slowly this will resolve over next 2 weeks when blood clot gets reabsorbed.

Let me know if you need anymore help.

I dont think that's the answer this developed days after we had relations. The rash is bumpy and very sore and feels like a burn

Brief Answer:
This is not STD

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

These small injuries causing blood clots under skin during sex or any small trauma are not noticed during the event but later. Hence this is noticed after blood clots start resolving and becoming black. Thats why you are noticing now.

This is not STD. Dont worry.
