I shaved and got a big painful boil after its now gone down and doesnt hurt. I had sex and the next day i had really bad yeast. Now i got extremely wet and it was all over my groin area. I noticed cuts two days after sex with slight bumps. however none of it itches. i get yeast infections so much they dont really itch anymore unless im super dry. my groin the cuts and bumps do not itch or burn and they havent blistered. so im very stuck. As its holidays i cant get tested and the last time they told me they werent sure. imageimageimageimage

    Hi, it doesnt look like herpes but more like a bad yeast/fungus infection. You definitely get swabbed to confirm and exclude bacterial infection and maybe prescribed something stronger like fluconazole due to the large area. In the meantime, you should continue to apply jock itch/antifungal ointment. You can take baking soda lukewarm baths.

    On the last picture, your skin is white, is that ointment?

      I'm pretty sure it's yeast, but you should ask a doctor to rule out lichen. I don't think lichen can develop so fast but I'm not an expert.
