This happened to me once when I was 17, but that time the symptoms were milder and the condition disappeared by itself after a few weeks. I've been tested for all (I think) STD's a few times since then, and I've never come up positive for anything.
Now I'm 20, and I've had this condition for months. Sometimes the skin cracks or bleeds. Sometimes little itchy bumps form. I think it's just jock itch (which I've never had before) because it feels like what I used to have between my toes. However...if it were actually an STD, would blood or urine tests detect it? At one place I went to, they swiped my asshole with a swab and tested the swab...so I'm assuming that's the only way to detect an STD on your asshole?
So I guess what I'm really asking is...
1) How likely is it that this is an STD and not jock itch?
2) Would a blood or urine test detect STD's in/on your asshole? Or do they have to swab your asshole?
3) Will washing your groin with dandruff shampoo cure jock itch (I read this somewhere)? Or do I have to go buy jock itch cream?
