I noticed a small red, rashy spot on the very top of my thigh about a month ago. It is close to my groin area but on the thigh. I have HSV1, the genital kind, so I thought that it was the beginning of an outbreak, and I didn’t worry about it too much. Thing is though, I still have the rash and I have never had an outbreak last this long. In fact, the only thing close to an outbreak I’ve ever had was the first occurence of herpes, when I 1st got it and was diagnosed with it. Last week I called a RN at Planned Parenthood and she called in a script for Acyclovir 200 mg to take 3X daily for 5 days. That is kind of a lot of meds right? I took the medicine as prescibed and rash is still there. Then I went to another Dr. the other day who told me it didn’t look like herpes or any kind of infection really, just looked like a fungus/jock itch and prescribed me Ketoconazole topical cream. How long will it take to work? The insert that came with it said to apply for 2 weeks or until symptoms resolve. Will it really take that long??? I want to wear a bathing suit soon and I can’t with this ugly rash on me!
