What Causes Itching In The Anus And Groin Area Post Vaginal Intercourse?
Hello, I have had unprotected sex approximately 12 days ago and am currently experiencing anal and groin itching. A rash has also developed between my scrotum and inner thigh. I have seen my GP who unfortunately conducted a very brief physical examination before ordering a test for Gonorrhea and Chlamydia for which I have received negative results. Please see the attached image of the rash, could these be early symptoms of Herpes?

Hello,
I see through your query that STD tests are negative.
So, I would think that the rash can be related to a fungal infection.
I would recommend to wash and dry frequently the area.
I recommend using an antifungal cream for local application and antifungal oral medication.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
