What Causes Itchy Bumps All Over Body After Intercourse?

my girlfriend says that after we have intercourse she gets itchy all over. We didn t use a condom but both of us have recently been tested for STDs and all tests were negative. The itchiness comes on within a half hour of sex and lasts for days. I m very clean and shower right before sex. we had sex in her apartment so she was used to her bedding and doesn t experience the itchiness sleeping in her bed without sex. She also gets some small bumps associated with the itchiness. She is avoiding sex with me because of this so any advice would help. Thanks.

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of itchy bumps all over body after intercourseIt could be due to allergic reactions and contact dermatitis. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to take combination of antiviral drug along with anti-inflammatory drug. Apply ice pack to reduce itchiness and redness. Avoid hot, spicy and sharp food substances. Take diet rich in multivitamins and vitamin C. Your symptoms will resolve in 4-5 days. If symptoms keeps on persisting visit dermatologist once and get some routine blood investigation and skin patch test done. Take hot milk rich in turmeric as it will boost immunity.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
