What Should Be Done To Stop Severe Sweating And Tingling In The Groin Area?
two years ago I had a sexual encounter with a woman I didn t know to well. During which the condom failed. I immediately stopped and replaced it. About a week later the skin on my penis became very sensitive and began to peal. I went to the Urgent care and they said it was nothing. The pealing went away, but remained sensitive. I went to my Urologist who check for STD s and I came up clean. Started having issues with urinating and went on a month of Cipro. No help from the Cipro. I then started experiencing major sweating and tingling in the groin area. To the point of having to change underwear after walking no more than 300 yards. This continues today. I have tested positive for Enteroccoculs facialis in my semen but then did a month of Amocicilian and tested negative. I have also done a month of flaygle, not sure on the spelling but anti fungal medicine. The skin on my penis, scrotum, perinium and back of thighs/buttocks continues to experience severe sweating and once that starts they feel as if they are on fire. I have seen a dermatologist but he seemed only interested in giving me different sample creams. None of which worked and a scrape was never taken. This is really taking over my life. What would you suggest I do next?
The peeling of skin following your sex contact could be due to sensitization to condom itself. As long as your blood results for STD/ HIV were negative you need not bother about STD. Sweating of groin,scrotum,penis, perineum, buttock have no relation to any of the STDs. If urine contains more than 5 pus cells on laboratory investigation, it indicates infection. Otherwise ignore the same and continue to drink plenty of water. Increased sweating and tingling may be due to your anxiety and aversion to the thought of STD. Nothing to worry. Follow your physicians advice. Dr S.Murugan
