Large red sores on inner thigh
Posted: 06-29-08 23:48pm

Hello,

I recently discovered what I am telling myself is a serious rash. Over 100 different sized red bumps on both sides of my inner thighs, no sores on my scrotum or penis, or shaft.
It is very sore when I walk, does not hurt from the air, and I have noticed if cold water touches my anus, it stings a great deal but unfortunately i cant look that far behind me, My girlfriend says it looks very red but there are no sores.

I do not participate in anal sex.
My partner insists that she has not been with anyone else sexually,
and I believe her.

I recently had a kidney stone removed, through the Cystoscopy-Ureteroscopy procedure. I was on an antibiotic for a UTI after the procedure for 10 days, and that was over 3 weeks ago. It does not currently burn when I urinate, and I do not have any back pain.

The rash is not irritated by water, but is much more soothing when it is dry.

And finally, my scrotum is red, but there are no sores anywhere on my scrotum, they end right where my thigh meets my scrotum.

Below is an image of my inner left thigh. I think it is a heat rash, and it has dried up abit, but it isn't clearing up much at all, I have a doctors appointment, but it isn't for a week, I understand no diagnosis can be made from a picture, but I just want some theory's on what you think it may be.

Well, it doesn't sound like it's any kind of STD or bacterial infection as far as what I know. Heat rash or some sort of friction thing, that seems possible. It almost seems like razor burn but if you don't regularly shave then that's not it.

Doesn't seem to incredibly serious... but go see your doc! Tell us how it turns out!
