Question : Hi. I've noticed some spots on my groin and seems like a rash too.
I'm wondering if it can be an STD or general skin condition
I had a massage recently but should not have been any body to body contact so I'm concerned to see spots now

Brief Answer:
Regarding a genital rash

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to ask a doctor service. I have gone through your query and viewed the images.

It seems like a folliculitis which is infection of the hair follicles, rather than an STD. A body massage does not lead to an STD as STDs are only transmitted through sexual contact rather than just skin to skin contact. I suggest you to use a topical antibiotic e.g either Neosporin ointment or Mupirocin ointment, twice daily., for this.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if you need any more assistance.

Thank you Dr. For your response.

So it didn't deserve herpes or warts? I am glad

I will follow your advice and wait until it disappears.

Thank you
