A lot of friction occurs during intercourse. You could be having some irritation from this. If your partner was having bleeding or some vaginal discharge, this may have made the irritation worse, and caused some redness. “Jock itch” is common in men. Jock itch is actually a yeast infection which can occur in the groin, on the penis, scrotum and/or inner thighs. It is characterized usually by a shiny, sometimes reddened rash, and itching. It is not an STD.
You might want to try an over the counter medication for jock itch. Anti-fungal medications for this condition are available at pharmacies and department stores. Anti-fungals are very effective, but it is important to use the cream/spray for the recommended time (usually 7 days). .
If your rash continues after using medication, becomes worse, or you begin having pain or blisters, you should be seen by your family physician or family planning clinic. Family Planning Plus offers free STD screening for men and women. Please call for an appointment if necessary.
