So i went to the dermatologist last monday because i was freaking out about some skin irritation on my pelvic area. He dismissed it as simply skin irritation perhaps from shaving and gave me steroid cream and orders to follow up in 2 weeks. So now a few days after starting the cream the orginal spot is looking better but a new spot very close by has appeared...i have an appointment now to go back on monday as i cant bare to wait another full week. The new spot has zero pain on itching. any chance this is a herpes infection!?? Ugh!!!
