Eczema on genital area
Common Questions and Answers about Eczema on genital area
eczema
I have been diagnosed with atopic skin and easily get small rashes, eczema here and there on myself. The rashes are not serious and go away by their own after a while, except on certain spots. Recently I've noticed that after masturbating a lot I easily get this rash on my genital area, where the hair growth is. I've read that sweating can cause atopic dermatitis and I definately sweat alot while masturbating and also touch the area a lot.
I belive I have eczema in my genital area because I have it also on my chest. I've tried treating it with different types of lotions but lotions seem to make it worse. I tend to scrath the area because of the itchiness which then leads to breaking of the skin at the base of my penis. Never breaking of the skin anywhere else in the genital region, just at the crevase of the lower pubic area at the base of the penis.
then i though it could be eczema due to the fact that i have had some pretty extensive eczema lately. i have had eczema my whole life. it comes and goes, but as far as i know i have never had it in my genitals, although i have had it on my inner highs and my buttocks. since splitting from my husband my stress level has been very high and my eczema got prettyu bad on my arms, shoulders,back, armpits, and sides... fairly certain it isn't genital herpes due to the fact that it didn't hurt.
11 months had what seemed like a reaction to a body wash soap. Initially had itching/burning specifically on my feet and genital area. Since then, the problem seems to come and go. I'll have an episode that lasts for 2-4 weeks and then it completely goes away for a few months. Now again, I'm experiencing the same itch/burn and it seems to have sprung up b/c I used a new scented soap a few weeks back.
I posted this to another board but got no answer I recently was visually diagnosed with genital herpes.. a few days later I noticed a sore on my finger.. I have eczema but was not sure if thats what it was or not its kind of crater like white in the middle and red around the edges.. I have eczema all around it because I covered it with a band aid (allergic to them) to be on the safe side..
how likely do you think its a herpes sore or am I just being paranoid here..
thanks in advance..
s Multiple times and have come out with a clean bill of health and i was told it wasnt herpes and i have never gotten any bump or patches of bumps on my scrotem as a matter a fact my genital area is the only uneffected place on my body Eczema has yet to hit. so why does this coinsides with my Eczema breakout evry year are they related or unrelated? is this even possable that this is dueto my condition?
I also noticed larger red bumps that were raised on the head of my penis as well as 1 on the shaft and 2 more on the scrotum, also iitchy.
since then i also started itching pretty much all over my body. i have noticed a few of the smaller red bumps in these new areas but sometimes it seems like i'm itching an area that otherwise looks fine. The worst itch is occuring in my genital area, inner thighs, and recently my knees and shins.
After finished, I notice that there are rash on her wrist area. I asked and she told me those were Eczema but I am really worried about that. Can someone answer my below questions?
1) can Herpes (HSV1 or HSV2) occur on hands or arms?
2) Am I at risk of getting genital herpes for such contact?
Please advise!
Regarding psoriasis,the silvery white scales plaques frequently occur on the skin of the elbows and knees, but can affect any area including the scalp and genitals. The cause of psoriasis is not known, but it is believed to have a genetic component. Several factors are thought to aggravate psoriasis. These include stress, excessive alcohol consumption, and smoking.
we really don't know. not many folks get hsv2 on non-genital body parts only for us to study it.
are you on suppressive therapy? that alone takes a male partner's risk down to 2%/year of contracting hsv2 from you. throw in condoms too and it's a 1% risk/year. that's the same risk as the ideal risk of pregnancy on the bc pill ( real use is closer to 8% with the pill ).
I have suffered from eczema since a small girl although havent had a flare up in a while. I get recurrences of psoriasis most of the year through on my fingers, hands and arms. I sometimes get litle round itchy patches on my legs.
For the past 6 months I have been absolutely freaked out about the idea that I may have herpes due to a housemate contracting it which caused me to research the subject. The fact I now have a genital itch has made this fear much worse.
The first dermatologist saw the rash like area on my genital area and said I had nothing to worry about it was just eczema. I didn't believe that because I never had eczema in my life. I went to another doctor for a second opinion and he told me the same thing but diagnosed it as a staph infection, prescribed cream that didn't seem to be effective.
Could it be irritation/reaction from the cream? Eczema? Genital Warts? Do genital warts appear that big within that short of a time frame? I have researched everything I could on the internet and saw 20 different skin conditions is looks like. They are not white, or dark, or blistery or pus filled. I have been in a relationship for 5 years. Had protected sex with a girl 4 years ago and then this incident where the only two. Please help.
I have itchy skin all over my body accompanied by small bumps in some places, and big ones on others... The main areas are my armpits, forearms, knee-pits (yeah...), groin/upper thigh, and ankles. The itching is unbearable. There is no overly noticeable skin rash except for a few very small bumps at each site. I first thought, "okay great, I've got genital warts." But there are no bumps actually on my genitals, and they're all over the place.
If your boyfriend is saying that he has genital eczema,then he should consult a dermatologist and start with its treatment comprising mainly of topical and oral steroids and emollients.Eczema is not contagious and it should be properly treated.Moreover it has to be differentiated from other skin conditions which may mimic it.
Hope it helps.Take care and pls do keep me posted on how you are doing or if you have any additional queries.
Had 2 dosages of antibiotics early this month. Genital started itching so I assumed it's yeast infection.
2 weeks ago, I saw some "flakes" on my vulva and realised that there's 2 distinct patches on my outer vulva. The skin of the patches looks wrinkled and lighter than the other area. There's no additional growth but I sort of had a cut on my vulva late last mth while I was washing up.
