Hello My name is Fred and I am 22 year old male and 176 pounds. Since a little kid i been following up with doctors since i have contact dermatitis and ezcema. Through out the years i have been developing rashes on my front elbows and in the anterior side of my knees (moist areas).. Around 8-12months ago, i noticed there was a rash developing by on the lower side of my grown and condition was not treated as i was able to cope with this condition. (please note i have been developing rashes since a kid... i can tolerate the itchness). Just to add up my skin has always been sensitive and scaba grow through out my whole body including (arms,legs, buttocks,chest, and back) At this pointy body is full of scars.

Going to the topic.. 7 months ago had unprotected sex with somone who mentioned she did test herself and was clean.. shortly after two weeks i developed 2-3 blisters with no redness or itchness..I followed up with dr who diagnosed with me with Genital herpes with plain eyesight... I did let him know that i was not presenting any symptoms and i noticed since i had to stretch my skin in order to see the blisters..Dr gave me a spray in order to dry out blisters and somehow it seemed to work however, it did take around a week half for it to disappear..

3 months ago same thing happen 2 blister on top right side of my scrotum... no itchyness... no symptoms... no sex... i noticed since there was a slightly red patch and when i stretched my scrotum skin i was two blisters and went to the Dr who mentioned she believed to be a jock itch since i still have the rash by groin... she did provide treatment but not for herpes and saw more effective results... my rash from groin is bearly visible now....

couple days ago, i had a tattoo done and i didnt shower for three days... i started exercising, and when i showered i noticed a slightly red patch and saw 2-3 blisters once again... i noticed that the presumably jock itch got a little bit more red... yesterday i woke up and noticed the slightly red patch disappeared however, would stretch my scortum skin and still noticed 2-3 clear blisters... Just yesterday, i noticed bloster oozed out and there is still no itchyness or any other symptom.. I really do find it weird since the blisters are not noticeable only when stretched... any thoughts ??

      doesnt really look like herpes, but since it keeps coming back i would recommend getting an igg antibody for herpes done just to rule it out
