Rash below belly button above pubic area

Posted , 8 users are following.

I woke up today with a rash right above where my pubic hair starts to just below my belly button. I had sex about 48 hours prior so I'm a bit concerned it is herpes. It itches a little but it doesn't hurt and it is also pretty smooth so it doesn't appear to be fluid filled. Could it just be some type of rash possibly from contact dermatitis or is it more likely genital herpes? The fact that it is pretty distant from my actual genitalia makes me more confident it is just some type of rash but I'm not sure. I'll attach a photo to this post. I'm unable to see a doctor until I get back from vacation in 5 days. Is there anything I should look for or possible symptoms I should be aware of?

    i do t suspect herpes. it looks very irritated but he or she might have had some kind of yeast or fungal infection or bacteria infection and your skin might have made contact and irritated u but thats a lil high to be herpes if it was closer to the penis or near the genital area i was suspect herpes but try some steroid cream like hydrocortisone cream or a fungal cream and see if that clear it up first strart with neosporin then use other things between those one will clear u up if it is t herpes which i highly doubt bei g that part of your body

      You can't diagnose visually! I've had a rash before that looked exactly like his and it is not HIV. I've been tested.

      You go get tested dumb ass, your the one in your discussions asking people "what herpes do i have.. i'm so depressed.. idk what herpes I have" Your only saying all this stuff because your behind a computer . grow up. stop telling everyone they have aids. Go read a book or something lonely, bored ass.

    Not HSV (and not HIV either). Looks fungal or bacterial, but more likely fungal. I wouldn't stress over this, just get in to see a general practitioner or dermatologist.
