Around August I last seen a provider where services performed were bbbj, PS, and covered S. And there have been a couple of only massage with HJ since. I’ve been dealing with a rash on my back for a good part of the summer. It then spread to arms and a few on my legs. I noticed at the start of December a small bump on my dick. Now I have a few other white blisters. Just I’m wondering if anyone has had a similar issue or can share any experiences. It’s been a rough Christmas man and my mind is really spinning. PM me if you would prefer.
My advice is don’t get medical advice from the internet, let alone a review board for sex workers.
When in doubt, always seek a physical exam from a doctor. You can easily get one done at a walk-in clinic.
Based on what you described though, and considering skin conditions can be exacerbated by colder weather, it sounds like you could just be dealing with psoriasis or eczema. (I’m not a dermatologist but worked in healthcare for 7 years).
Hopefully you’ve taken the advice of others here and are getting it checked out.
The likelihood of this being an STI is quite low considering HSV1 and 2 are typically only present around the mouth or genitalia. Not widespread across your body as you described. And seeing as that started before you noticed any bumps on your genitals, it may even be two separate issues. Or it simply could be presenting differently on your genitals because that area typically has more moisture which can leave the skin prone to other issues.
If you can’t see a doctor quickly, try the following:
- make sure your skin is cleansed with mild unscented soaps that won’t cause further irritation
- keep your genital area dry, moisture breeds bacteria
- avoid shaving your genitalia, if you had previously this could have caused irritation or an entry point for bacteria
- always wear clean underwear, especially after a workout or just throughout the day if you tend to sweat more
- if the rashes on the other areas of your body are dry and itchy, use a gentle moisturizer
- make sure you’re keeping these areas clean and dry as well
- don’t scrub yourself dry, pat gently to avoid more irritation
Keep in mind that any sexual activity (in this hobby or outside of it) always comes with inherent risks. Everyone should get regular STI tests if you are going to be having sex with a non monogamous partner.
There’s definitely no shame in seeking advice here, but please seek proper medical care. Your health is important, and keeping everyone we come in contact with healthy is important too!
