Hi there ~

I understand your concerns. I believe that the rough itchy skin rash around your waist is a fungal skin infection. However if you have had unprotected sex in the past and have the suspicion of probably having a sexually transmitted disease including HIV I advise you to consult a doctor for the same. An STD profile and a urinalysis will reveal the problem on hand and a doctor with suggest an appropriate solution. I hope this helps.

Take care and have a lovely day!
