Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
I had unprotected sex with a commercial sex worker nine months ago. Three weeks after the unprotected sex, I got infected with a fungal infection and red bumps on the back and below the neck. And then, I had multiple skin infections, which I never had before. After nine months, I got tested for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and other blood-borne viral infections and venereal disease research laboratory (VDRL) test, all the results came negative. But now I have a fungal infection. I am suffering from an unknown sexually transmitted disease. What is the cause of my recurrent skin infections? Please help.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com. I can understand your concern. I have reviewed your reports (attachment removed to protect the patient's identity). You have developed tinea corporis. Nothing serious; your all investigations are normal. Please follow a few instructions mentioned below. In addition, apply Clotrimazole cream, plus Fusidic acid cream twice daily, and take a tablet of Fluconazole 150 mg once a week for four weeks. Finally, kindly consult a specialist, talk to them, and take medications with their consent. I hope this has helped you. Thank you.
