Hello,Welcome to icliniq.com.I can understand your concern.If vitiligo has been confirmed in your groin area, the light-colored patches on your face may represent early-stage vitiligo (pre-vitiligo). To better diagnose your condition, it is essential to assess the time gap between noticing groin and facial patches, the level of pigmentation difference, and whether the facial patches are itchy or red.Additionally, a history of dandruff (seborrheic dermatitis) or atopy (allergic tendencies like asthma, sinusitis, or recurring cold) can provide further insights.
Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. I understand your concern. I have reviewed the images (attachment removed to protect patient identity). It seems that you are suffering from a form of contact allergic eczema. It is an eczema in response to an allergy to some agricultural substance, vegetation product or chemical, such as a pesticide, fertilizer or some other occupational exposure substance.
Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. I have reviewed the attached images (attachment removed to protect the patient's identity). Your problem seems to have lingered on to become a chronic hyperkeratotic scrotal eczema. This is a result of your hyperallergenic tendency, constant scratching, sweat-induced maceration, and intermittent but incomplete treatments with suboptimal medicines. Do you have a history of generalized dry skin that worsens in winter? Did you have childhood eczema, sinusitis, or childhood asthma? Does your occupation entail a lot of sweating in the groin area? What kind of fabric do you use for undergarments? Are you using either pure cotton and loose ones or tight synthetic fabric ones? Till you revert with the answers, I advise you to wash that area twice a day with a moisturizing, non-medicated soap.
Hello,Welcome to icliniq.com.I have read your query and understand your concern.Firstly, you must relax and not allow your condition to further worsen the mental stress that you already seem to bear.

Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. Thanks for providing the clinical pictures (attachment removed to protect patient identity). I would try to provide you with the best possible answers to your questions. The symptoms you have mentioned, for example, fever, a general feeling of not being well, and vague body aches, may be a hint of acute HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) syndrome. They may also, in reality, be hypochondriacal, which is due to stress, and you are giving a lot of importance to them.
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. First of all, do not panic. Your results till now are highly suggestive (but not 100 percent confirmatory) of you being HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) negative. Please note. Getting triple ELISA (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) with p24 Ag test every few days will not help.
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. I understand your concern. The photographs you have provided are of good quality, and based on the appearance of your lesion, my clinical impression is that of a furuncle (attachments removed to protect the patient’s identity). A furuncle is a medical term used to describe a boil that originates from the base of a hair follicle. This may have developed following a hair removal procedure such as waxing, shaving, or a similar method.
Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. Based on your history, my answer to your questions: 1. Are My Symptoms Related to ARS? Acute Retroviral Syndrome (ARS) typically begins 7-14 days after exposure to a HIV positive patient, and may last for up to 3-4 months. The symptoms are typically "flu-like" with fever (may be high grade or low grade), fatigue, headache, aching muscles or joints, sore throat, swollen lymph glands, and sometimes a maculopapular rash. Now, this is simply a description of ARS, this does not prove that you have it!!!!! Let me dissect this issue a little closely for you: a) The failure rate of condoms may be up to 5%, and since you are not sure of it being torn, there is a definite likelihood that it may have ruptured.
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. I suggest you calm down and do not panic. While there are certain gaps in the information provided by you, allow me to first make and establish certain axiomatic deductions about your situation: Presuming that your exposure to HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) was non-occupational (presumptively, via sexual exposure to a known, suspected, unknown-status partner) around 15 weeks ago. You got tested by the fourth-generation assay, which refers to a standardized serological test based on the detection of combined p24-antigen-cum-anti HIV-1 or 2 antibodies (IgM, IgG) on multiple occasions, including during the 2nd and 4th weeks, and at the latest, at the 15th week, with all results negative. The fourth generation test being negative right in the first four weeks of exposure and remaining negative for no less than two to three additional weeks beyond 12 weeks or three months is conclusive of your negative serological status or not having acquired HIV.
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. Well, precautions first - While there is absolutely nothing wrong medically in your sexual orientation, irrespective of the legal status in your state, it is definitely not advisable to have unprotected intercourse with anyone. Even the use of condoms only ensures 95% protection. So in the future, always use a barrier like a condom before intercourse to ensure your own safety and your partner's safety. Not only you could get infected with a venereal disease like syphilis, genital warts, etc.
