Q: Does Anyone Know What This Is???

So about a week ago I started to get this rash that sort of covered my whole torso and up into my face at first. It wasnt raised or anything, just red, and it turned to white when pressed upon. It felt like I had a sunburn and a fever. Well the rash continued and it soon spread to my other extremities. On its way down my body my face started to peel and now my arms, mostly my armpits and inner arms are starting to peel. Just in the past day or so, about 5 or 6 days after the rash started, the lymph nodes in my groin started to swell up and became tender and sore. Now there is a bump at the base of my penis almost like it is a vein but it is bigger. I have had no sores or anything during this and am wondering what the hell it could be??? Is it an std, herpes? Syphilis? Or is it somethign like scarlet fever? The rash kind o flooked just like a scarlet fever rash. Does skin typically peel with stds or no? Would it be possibly to have an std without having lesions or anything? I really hope this is not an std but rather some sort of bacterial condition or skin condition... Thank you for any help!

Sounds like an allergic reaction Confused
Have you changed washing powder or soap or deodorant recently?
Have you stayed in a motel/hotel/b&b recently?
Have you stayed outdoors or gone hiking?

Lymph nodes can/do swell when there is strain on the immune system, which in your case there is as your body is clearly fighting something.

This is one of those times when you really really need to go see your doctor. If it is an allergy he can give you something to help, if it is something else he can make a diagnosis or take a skin scraping (not as painful as it sounds) to send to the lab for analysis.

Either way, this doesn't sound like something you can or should ignore.

Sounds highly unlikely to be an std.

Rashes are strange and mysterious things. It may be nothing to worry about, but all the peeling thing would have me concerned if it was me. This is one for the doctor I think.

I had a weird rash came up almost everywhere on my body last summer when I was camping. A pimpley-like red rash. My boyfriend and I got it, noone in the surrounding area did. It was odd. I still have no idea what caused it and it took weeks to go away. If it's causing you discomfort and concern, as it obviously is, get it checked out.

The peeling I have is like the kind that you get after a sun burn, it I sreally weird. My skin itched pretty bad a night ago but then last night it hardly itched at all... Hmmm, this is weird. I am going to the doctor about it tomorrow.
