a Rash.. But Is It Herpes? Posted: 04-21-04 07:23am
I went to se my doctor today because of a
small, circular-shaped rash on the right
side, top of my butt cheek. The rash was
very itchy and painful, and eventually I
got itchy in a line formation from that
rash to my top labia lip, but no rash
where the new itchiness was. There were
never any sores or open sores, just a very
itchy rash with small pricklies sticking
up, and sensitive skin. I also had some
joint pain and mucscle pain, and pain that
felt like bruising... Anyways - by the
time I went to the doctor, the rash was
mostly gone, so he didn't get to see it in
time. I'm having a blood test done to see
if it's herpes, but since there were no
lesions, maybe it's something else? My ex
boyfriend had shingles once over a year
ago... Could it possibly be that? Or
just a rash? In any case, I don't know
what it's from, or what it is, and I am
scared... So if anyone has experienced
this sort of rash "down there" then please
let me know. So far it has been itchy for
about a week and a half.
Thanl you.

I know I get something that sounds a lot
like that, but I get it on my hands -
circular-shaped rash, very itchy, painful,
sensitive, and with little prickly bumps.
My dermatologist said it was eczema.
Maybe it's possible to get eczema "down
there" too? I don't know, but you may
want to ask about it.
