Mysterious Rash / Circles On Thigh Posted: 11-07-05 20:58pm
Well i've had a bit of a rash on my inner
thigh, kinda at the place where the leg
and groin meet, so fairly close to my
penis. I've had it for quite some
time now, and have no idea what it is.
There are three circles, about half an
inch in diameter- two on the left side,
one on the right. They are somewhat
reddish, with a brown/tan tint to it.
They aren't raised, they don't itch, they
aren't sore... They don't irrate me
in any way. (just the appearance bugs
me)
it can't be an std or anything as i've not
had sex with my girlfriend yet (only 18).
I haven't switched soaps, or anything
that could suddenly bring this on, as it's
been around for maybe a year now..
Maybe more, I can't even remember.
Perhaps this is a sweat rash? Maybe I
don't dry myself off enough after a
shower? Any help would be
appreciated.
I took some pictures if it will help.
Type these into your address bar to get

Probably just a allergic reaction to
something or caused by a product, or
clothing or something. Have you don'e
anything different than your norm (ie: new
soap, clothes, shaving the area etc...)?

Nope, i've done nothing out of the norm.
No new soap, nor do I shave around there.
(though I did in the pictures around the
marks so that they were more visable, and
because i'm now putting moisturizer on it,
as suggested by someone.)
and considering they've been there for
about a year or more, I have no idea what
it could be. It can't be a rash, as
those tend to cover more area... And
would have gone away by now.. Where as
these are individual marks and don't seem
to be going away anytime soon.
I'm stumped, gentlemen.

Do they tend to show up and then go away?
If so, you might just have really
sensitive skin in which case rashes like
that can occur frequently. Another
thought is were you ever hit or injured in
that region? There is a type of
semi-permanent bruise that looks like a
rash as well.

Hmm.. I can't recall ever being hit
anywhere around there- though they do look
like bruises. They do tend to fade at
times, though they've been around for so
long it's hard to remember. I'll start
keeping track. Even just after a day of
using moisturizer they do look more faded.
