About 2 weeks ago, I was taking a shower
and noticed 5-6 bites in the same place on
my lower stomach that looked to be
mosquito bites... I didn't pay much
attention to it. A day or two after the
bite I had sexual intercourse with a
woman, and about 8-10hrs. After that I
started developing an itchy red rash in my
groin/pubic area (not on genitals) at
work... I work in a kitchen so heat and
humidity seemed to cause the onset. The
rash is very itchy, small red marks, some
with whiteheads... And lately they have
formed very small scabs and are fading.
They do not look similar to the pictures
of herpes I have seen, but this is what I
first guessed. I started to get a bit of
the rash on my arms, thighs, etc, I looked
my symptoms up online and it seems very
similar to a spider bite. About a week
later the rash is still there, it seems to
be fading... But increases after sweating
(work, sexual activity) I have also
noticed as of late I feel angry and
irritable in the morning, and have violent
dreams. I also feel confused and fatigued
throughout the first few hours of my day.
Any insight would be appreciated... I
will be seeing a doctor tommorow.
