Post Sex, Big Irritating Bumps On Upper Thighs, Antibiotics
After having sex I developed small red bumps on upper thighs which turn into big irritating bumps after a few days. I got tested for STD s and everything checked out okay. My doctor put me on antibiotics for a couple of months for my condition. I had sex with the same partner and the red bumps came back. This is very frustrating, can u please tell me what this is?

Hello
Thanks for using Health Care Magic
I would be pleased to answer your question .
Possibilities include : Candidal ( Fungal Folliculitis ) , Bacterial Folliculitis . It seems to be a folliculitis that is the inflammation of the Hair follicle . These develop after close contact and can result in them becoming bigger over a period of time .
Antibiotic cream application and intake depending on the bacterial or fungal cause is to be decided by the treating Dermatologist on visual examination of the lesions .
Thanks and Take care
