Whom should I consult for a rash that appeared after unprotected sex?
Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
I had unprotected sex about one and a half month ago. A few days later, I saw a few things that concerned me. So, about a week later, I got tested for all the common STDs and the results came back negative. But, I am still having the same issue, but not as bad as before. I have been having three tiny red bumps like rash that are occasionally itchy and possibly a weird smell. After a while, I assumed it was a yeast infection. I started taking over-the-counter Azo pill and yeast cream, but nothing really is disappearing. Please help me.
Hi,

- You should apply antifungal ointment for some more time. Also, you may need oral antimicrobials and antifungal.
- Doxycycline can be tried for two weeks with continuation of ointment. Consult your specialist doctor, discuss with him or her and take the medicine with consent.
- You need to treat your partner also or else the infection will come back to you.
For further information consult a sexologist online.
Patient's Query
Thank you doctor,
What is your opinion regarding my infection? Which specialist doctor should I visit for Doxycycline prescription? Does the visual symptom look bad? Will it disappear completely? What specific brand of antimicrobials and antifungal should I use? I am freaked out a little, because I do not ever use protection.
Hi,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
- You have tested for commonest sexually transmitted diseases and I hope all are negative.
- Now, the rash and the smell could be of any of the above fungal or bacterial infection, which may not be detected by tests.
- I could not find any lesions except very small red tiny bumps and do not think of any significance (attachment removed to protect patient identity).
- Since you mentioned that you have taken Azithral (Azithromycin) and antifungal creams and found improvement, I suggested the next level of treatment.
- Doxycycline will take care of chlamydial infections. You need to consult a venereal disease specialist or your general practitioner.
For further doubts consult a sexologist online.
