Hey Regina. I presume this question is directed to a particular doctor but seeing as it was up my street, chose to answer it. It is very possible that you have both infections. The treatment for both is very definitive & will surely alleivate your symptoms. So whether you have one or the other is purely semantics. Get yourself treated for both & excercise precautions /barrier contraception in the future to avoid similar recurrences. I am more worried if other non-treatable or more resistant organisms such as the HIV virus were to piggy-back on these organisms. So albeit the cure will present itself vis-a-vis your dermatologist, please do be careful in your own interests. A 3-week course of tetracyclines as per your doctor s prescription is the way forward for your chlamydial infection & dont forget to treat your partner/s. Best Regds & Good luck & trust this was unbiased & helpful. cheers. Dr Praveen Rodrigues MD Dermatologist, Cosmetologist & Venereologist., Bangalore, India
