What Causes Sticky Feeling Around Groin Area?
Question: Here is my full story
Last month during Good Friday long weekend and I had sex with 3 different woman, all met me online dating website. and with 3 to 5 days after my last sexual contact I started feeling really sticky in my groin area and on my scrotum. I feel like its a rash but its not visible because my skin color is dark and I cant see it. I only feel minor pinch sometime when I sit or stand in certain position. after a month it still exist. I have been to doctor and they say its not STD and fungal infection. But one of the girl I had sex with not answering my call or messages.
but what rings bells in my mind. It never happened to me before. I am fairly clean person. If its not sexually transmitted than how I got it.{FYI I used condom all the time when I had sex} Is it because I was spending everyday 2 to 3 hours in gym most of the time my private area remained wet and covered. I would also like to know how Lotriderm cream is effective for it. I did not use it properpy though only applied it for 3 to 4 days. My groin area got better but scrotum remained same and than stopped using it. But once again as the temperature is rising it came back and I stopped using the cream because sometimes I feel it made my glans burning a liltle. Its do get better when temperature drops.
When I used Lotrderm my groin area immediately got cured but scrotum did not. I would also like to is it communicable sexually or by any other means?
