What Can Be The Cause For The Rash On The Thigh After Sex?

Hi there. About a week ago after having sex with my wife, I noticed a rash starting on my inner upper thigh. Didn't think much of that but then my left testicle started hurting, so I dealt with that for a day then it became both testicles that were sore. It wasn't too bad mainly bedtime where I couldn't get comfortable was where I noticed it the most. Next the tip of penis started hurting like a slight burning bit it was more so my actual urinary tract. Finally I went to emerg at like 2 am because I had just had enough. Showed him the rash which by then was almost gone. He said the rash was nothing at all. No discharge from penis so he ruled out STD which I was worried about because I read they can at times lay dormant for years and I've been faithfully married for 3. Anyways he poked around my testicles and had me cough and I said it wasn't feeling any more or less pain it was just a constant painful sensation. So he said it was some kind of infection and put me on antibiotics for 2 weeks. This is only my second day on them but nothing has changed the pain and tingling just seems to be moving. From both testicles to mainly my left testicle and left thigh now have the same feeling. I find it all to be extremely odd and troubling. Any input would be great!

Hello,

Rash on the thigh after sex is commonly due to Jock Itch(Tinea cruris). Jock itch can be transmitted from one person's groin area to the groin of their partner, it affects the other parts too as ringworm.

You can apply ointment Clotrimazole in the areas affected. You can also take a course of oral anti fungals.

Avoid sex for a couple of days, take care of your hygiene. Keep your private parts clean & dry.

For safe side you can get STD test done to rule out any STI. Pain, tingling & discomfort in the groin may occur due to epididymitis, testicular torsion, hernia, UTI or Kidney stone/ kidney disease.

You are suggested to get clinically examined by a Urologist. Get blood, Urinalysis & required imaging(MRI/CT) tests done to rule out the factor causing discomfort. Your treatment will depend on the pathology detected.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr. Nupur K
