Experiencing Itching Around My Anus And Also Between Anus And Scrotum, Pus Like Pimples On Hands And Buttocks. Folliculitis?
Hi, i have an itch around my anus, and also the area between anus and scrotum. This has been continuing for a few weeks now. My butt crack is also red with some itch there.
Then over the last few days, i believe i have a few of pus like pimples on my legs, hands and buttocks. I read and some of these appears to be similar to folliculitis.
Would you please advise what I am having please. I did have a sexual encounter 5 months ago, and was tested negative to everything on the 5 day of exposure. Am due to do my other checks soon.
Hopefully this is some yeast infection or something benign.
