I've been dealing with a rash in my private areas and tried using Dermi 5 cream, but it hasn't helped. In fact, the rash is spreading across my buttock. I'm really worried now. What else can I do to get rid of it, and should I be concerned about it getting worse?

I've been dealing with some intense itching in my buttcrack for the last few days, and it's becoming pretty uncomfortable. It feels like I've scratched so much that there's almost a crack forming because of it. This has happened to me before, and I've found that using oil helps to soothe the itch. It's working a bit this time too, but the relief isn't lasting because if I scratch again, it just comes back. Any idea why this keeps happening and what else I can try to get rid of it?

You may be experiencing a case of fungal infection such as jock itch. I recommend using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole 1% cream. Apply a thin layer of the cream to the affected area twice a day for 2-4 weeks. Additionally, keeping the area clean and dry, wearing loose cotton underwear, and avoiding tight clothing can help prevent further irritation. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a doctor for further evaluation and management.

I'm really concerned because about 60 days ago, I had a sexual encounter with protection. However, I just got my herpes antibody test results, and they're showing 3.5 for IgM antibodies and 30 for IgG antibodies. Is it possible that herpes could've been transmitted even with protective sex? I'm also wondering if there's any specific treatment I should be considering.

Yes there are chances of you getting herpes despite of having protective sex,visit Dermatologist for appropriate management
