itchy rash driving me crazy

0 Recommendations

I engaged in a stupid night of sex with a partner that I didn't know one night and experienced a sharp pain on the scrotum while she rubbed her genitals on me there. The next morning I noticed a discolored itchy spot at that exact spot. This spot grew to inflame my entire genital area and felt like fiberglass. I have tried all types of cremes and cleanses and can not heal it. Petroleum based cremes drive it wild. The pain has calmed now, but it continues to itch and sometimes burn. It sometimes feels like there is something crawling beneath the skin that bites me from time to time or stickers under the skin. Doctors do not know what it is and blow it off as a fungal or yeast infection that won't heal because of my diabetes. I am going crazy and would like any information that someone can give me.

Could be crabs or scabies...either one. Do a search online and look for pictures on both and see if it looks familiar. Try www.informationonsymptoms.com and look at those pictures for scabies.

There is plenty of treatments out there for either one. Most oil treatments are effective and are relatively quick acting.

It very well could be because of your diabetes and if so cleaning up your diet will help. Get more information first from the pros but the steps if it is because of your diabetes would be asadolpholis, found in yogurts, less white products especially white breads, more fibre to clean the intestines and more veggies and vitamines to help as well. People don't realize the diabetes symptoms are not only as said in brocures anymore. Boils and fungual or yeast infections are a symptoms to looks for as well. Because the body is not fighting as well as it did before the diabetes started these things are more apt to happen and even stay longer or become impossible to fight off unless you work from the intestines first. It has lots to do with improper digestion especially of bad foods that cause or help cause the diabetes situation in the first place.

Maybe herpes. Go to the doctor and get medication.
