I had a new sex partner 30 days ago. Before we had sex i shaved my hairs on my testicles and around. 5 days later i thought my testicles were enlarged, burned, itched and i formed a bump or blister on inner under part of my thigh. so i got tested at health district for chlamydia, syphillis, gonnoreah they were negative. on visual inspection they saw nothing. my testicles burned and itched health district stated sore on leg was zit. I went to urologist to have visual test he prescribed diflucan and stated use ababy powder burning and itching ceased within several days. I asked urologist if i had std and he laughed and stated no. I also went to two other doctors. one doctor said I shld get tested for herpes since other results were negative just to clear my mind, but could not tell what sore on my leg was. I went to dermatologist who didnt see anything and the sore on my leg was posthyperpigmentation, and i was not to be worried about anything. I am currently itching again and my hair on testicles have grown double what they were. what could cause this?
From what you are describing, enlarged, burning, and itching with a bump on the inner side of the thigh sounds as if it could be local irritation to the skin caused by shaving and resulting in a dermatitis.
Other common causes of your symptoms are folliculitis or a yeast infection. Folliculitis is a bacterial overgrowth of the sweat/hair follicles of your skin. Shaving can predispose you to folliculitis as it can cause ingrown hairs and trap bacteria in the follicles. A yeast infection is also common in the groin area and can present with a similar pattern – treatment with an antifungal, such as diflucan, can be effective in curing your condition.
Your symptoms are unlikely to be from herpes as the vesicles are exquisitely painful with a tingling/burning sensation prior to the development of vesicles.
However, a form of chlamydia known as “lymphogranuloma venereum” (LGV) can also present in a similar pattern. LGV is caused by the chlamydia trachomatis bacteria and invades the lymphatic system causing swelling and irritation. Initial presentation may be a painless genital ulcer 1-2 weeks after innoculation of the bacterial which resolves within a few days. After the primary stage heals, the secondary stage can occur weeks to months later with the infection spreading from the skin to the lymphatic vessels and lymph nodes resulting in swelling/redness/tenderness (most often only on one side), in the groin or inner thigh. The disease can be screened for with standard STD tests but rarely negative test results may require a biopsy of the affected area to visualize the chlamydia trachomatis bacteria. Treatment with the proper antibiotics such as erythromycin or doxycycline can cure the infection and resolve the symptoms.
And to address your final concern regarding your hairs growing back double … that doesn’t appear to make medical sense.
If your symptoms worsen or do no resolve with your current treatment regimen, you need to consult a licensed physician to evaluate you and determine the cause.
