I've had this eczema or genital rash for almost 2 years, what should I do?

Posted , 3 users are following.

Its a long story to tell but I hope you guys will read this. It all started when I moved in England. I was 18 and had sex with a woman. And then 2 days after that a lump showed up in my penis shaft which scared the hell out of me. Then tomorrow I went and did a HIV test but came back negative. (I know you have to wait 2-4 weeks but I was scared to do another test). After lump showed up and got checked out I called her and told her if you have any STDs and she said no and got offended. Anyway I didn't go out with her again. Then after lump disappeared then some weeks or months later I think I get this genital rash or eczema in foreskin which I will show you the pictures. At first time when it showed up was a white discharge disgusting white stuff in foreskin and then turned into a redness itchy shiny skin. (it gets more red and itchy at night times when I go to sleep)! I'm having this rash for almost 5 years and wont disappear.It looks like a yeast infection, its red shiny and itchy. Then after two years Im embarrassed to say it but around my arsehole I saw white fungus I mean yeast infection. I used garlic and started washing everyday so Im better now but I don't know what to say. I don't know what to say to you guys but since I had this eczema my life is slowly falling apart. I have failed in too many subjects in college and Im smoking because I am depressed. I feel like killing myself. I am so scared to get tested again for HIV but I have to do smth about my eczema because I am afraid this will turn into cancer. I havent got any treatment yet. Guys please help me!! 😦

    Can you show your whole penis from the top and bottom to compare the healthy skin to the affected skin area?

      I don't think this is hiv related either. Most likely something just irritating the skin on your penis. You can go see a dermatologist to see what is going on.

    I doubt this is hiv related pal, certainly wouldnt show after a couple of days. id say get tested. from what you have said and described i would be quite confident it isnt hiv related, so get tested it may help your mental state.

    Have you seen a GP or GUM or tested for all sti's?

      Thanks for replying and sorry for late reply.Im 23. I hope its not hiv bro.

      Im freaking out. No, I havent seen any doctor yet because I feel embarrassed. Should I see a urologist or dermatologist?

      maybe just a general practitioner and they can guide you.

      Im no doctor but id say it aint related to hiv, so id forget that. just get tested to give you piece of mind then you can move on.

      trust me brother you will be fine.
