My Rash and Oral Sex

I wish to raise my concern about a condition that has been bordering my mind for some time now. I had oral sex with a girl sometime a while ago and I began to notice some rashes on my penis which later spread to other parts of my body. I went to see a doctor who carried out some blood tests and he advised me to use Travocort cream for 6 months. I met another pharmacist who advised me to use Ketoconazole tablets for 1month.

I have carried out all instructions and even went back to the hospital to see another doctor who told me to consult a dermatologist. These rashes have become itchy and it is embarrassing.

Please do advise me on what to do.

Thank you. Chidi Abuja

Chidi, Your apprehension as per the concern you had over these rashes of yours are quite understandable, especially because the response has been slowed with all the drugs you have been taken over the period under reference.

However, I should say that the fact that you had an “oral sex with a girl” a month to the commencement of the rashes all over your body does not strike me as the immediate or primary cause of these rashes.

This can as well be attributed to other causes, other than the oral sex.

The above is the reason why I will advise that in this case you should stop the various “try and error approaches”, it is probably wise for you to seek an appointment with a practicing dermatologist, since the primary complaint has to do with a skin rash.

I am confident that the attending dermatologist will be in the best position to decode the nature of the skin rashes, and if necessary send you for relevant tests.

In similar vein, he might probably also consider you for a collateral referral to other related specialists in the field of medicine.

Best wishes, while you sort yourself out.
