A member asked:

I had unprotected sex 18 days ago i now have a fungal like rash on scrotum the last 3 days ago but no sores or pain and light itch could it be herpes ?

You: stated fungal like. If you are correct then it is not herpes. However with unprotected sex you need full evaluation for STDS and practice safe sex

Dr Fowler agreed
