Is White Itchy Rash In Groin And Scrotum Area Symptom Of A STD?
Question: Hi,
I am confused whether I have got a STD or it's just a Jock Itch. I recently had protected sex with a girl. After 2 days some white itchy rash has appeared in my groin and scrotum area. I am confused whether this is some of STD or something like a Jock Itch. I have a history of contact dermatitis from soap use. And after having sex, I cleaned my groin area 4-5 times with soap.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I went through the query and understood your concern.
Since you had protected sex the chance of STD is minimal. Only itching in the scrotal area does not point towards STD. So no need to worry for this.
The common cause may be due to dermatitis as you have history of dermatitis with the soap. The second possibility may be any irritation during sex or due to your undergarments.
For now keep the area clean and dry, clean the area with antiseptic to avoid any further problem. Use only sun dried cotton undergarments. This will help you.
Keep watching on the symptoms or any changes in scrotum.
Otherwise no need to worry much.I appreciate your safe sex using condoms.
I hope this information helps you. Feel free to ask for any further queries. I will be glad to answer them.
Wish you good health.
Regards
