Ok, I have a question or two...
About a year ago, I had sexual relations with a girl I ddid notknow.
This one night thing turned into a short little affair.
During this affair, I deveoloped small red dots or bumps on my penis near the head and under the foreskin. No pain. No iching, no burning.
I went to the doc and he told me it was a fungal infection, perscribing clotrimazole topical cream. The dots went away and stayed away for the best part of a year.
Now they returned and I applied the same topical cream and its done the trick... So my question is... Could a herpes rash be taken out by a topical fungal cream? I noticed in another discussion someone mentioned the same type of symtoms and another person told them that unless the cream had acyclovir as an ingrediant, it probably wouldnt do the trick.
The type of cream I have is life brand... And I looked at the ingrediants for acyclovir and it didnt mention it... My other question... Is clotrimazole one ingrediant or does it have other stuff in it that for some reason do not need to be labeled? Could acyclovir be in clotrimazole?
If anyone has any ideas, please let me know.
Thanks a bundle.
