Herpes, Redness, Sores On Legs. Taken Blood Tests. Diaper Rash Cream And Tea Tree Oil Helped. Suggestion?
I think I may have herpes, i went to the doctor he didnt think it looked like herpes but did blood tests and am waiting for the results. In addition to that my balls are red and between my legs are sore from my underwear rubbing but it's not red. I've tried tea tree oil, lemon balm and a few others things. The only thing lat seems to help is diaper rash creme. Any suggestions?
