My fiance and I are geting married on the 23rd...Well he has had this rash and his lower belly and around his privates that has been spreading. he doesnt let me see him naked because of it and he is always itching. I have not gotin a good look at it but i know it is bad. Im afriad it is an STD or something. He said he has had it for about 5 years now and it is just starting to get bad. He said the only idea he can think of were he might have gotin it is when he was camping once and used a dirty bathroom...doesnt that mean it could be an STD? i keep asking himt o go to the doctor but he is shy about it....What should i do, and wat might it be?

It could be fungal or anything. He could have an infection of his hair folicles. I got one on an airplane. The dermatologist said you can get those anywhere. I would just go and get it checked and treated and get rid of the shame. The hair folicle one was hard to get rid of, but with dilligence I was rid of it. Have him go to a dermatologist. I got this one on my legs then thighs and then butt. It was because I wore a dress on the plane and not pants. I wanted to look nice. I had to use some strong soap. It took 3 doctors to find out what I had. That is why I say go to a really go dermatolgist and do not have sex with him. You will probably get it. Even if it is a fungal infection it is treatable. If it is an std it is probably controlable. Most are. He has to get a diagnosis and treatment. You are a risk from towels and sheet and everything. If he truly got it from a public bathroom which I doubt then you are at risk in your own bathroom. He needs to protect you by getting this treated. If you live in a small town go to a larger one and get him seen there where it is more private. Get mad for him not getting treated and do not treat him with stigma or anger for what he may or may not have. If he has an STD just treat it. If he cheated on you deal with it. If he will not get it checked then it is your choice to get yourself check and leave him.
PS your man cannot have a vaginal rash unless he is trans-sexual or you are married to a woman or a person with double sex organs? Which is it? Does your man have female organs or is your man really a woman. I am not sure he would like being refered to as having a vaginal rash if he has not vagina. Forgive me if I am confused. It takes all kinds to make a world.

STDs are transmitted by lots of different ways other than sexual contact. So there's no way to rule that out, really, except through tests that only a doctor can perform.
If he's shy about going to the doctor about it, why don't you go with him? You want to know about it just as much as he does! Doctors are used to strange people being in the room sometimes... I used to go with my ex to the gynecologist all the time because she was nervous about needles.
If he absolutely puts his foot down and refuses to get it looked at, there's not a lot you can do. But it would probably be a good idea to stay away from that area yourself, if you know what I mean...

You know, guys CAN have rashes without accusing them of having STD's. He needs to seek a doctor and most likely it could just be he needs an antifungal cream. Yes, guys get moist in that area too and grow germies, hence causing itching, redness and rashes. Get some cream and be done with it. I do know a friend also that has this same problem after getting out of a hot tub due to the Bromine chemical that makes this happen.

Please see the webpages for more details on Sexually transmitted infections.(STI- a new term. STD-old term).
Genital herpes cannot be cured. Once infected, the virus stays in the body for the rest of the individual's life. Research suggests that the virus can be transmitted even when there are no symptoms present, so that a sexual partner without obvious genital herpes sores may still transmit the illness. In fact, asymptomatic spread may actually contribute more to the spread of genital herpes than do active sores.
One fifth of all cancers worldwide are caused by a chronic infection, for example human papillomavirus (HPV) causes cervical cancer and hepatitis B virus (HBV) causes liver cancer.

Make him go to the doctor! Do not marry this man until he finds out what the problem is! It is probably just dermatitis or something not catchy, but you don't know that. It could also be a form of body lice, allergic reaction to soaps or many other different things. If he cares enough about you and your relationship he will go and find out.

My 1st concern is your knowledge of anatomical parts. Your finance is a male, he does NOT have a vaginal rash, he has a genital rash. I would also give him an ultimatum, go to the doctors and get a diagnosis and/or medication if needed, or postpone the wedding.

I'm confused. You said "HE" has a rash, and in your post it says "vaginal" rash?.....???
Anyways, it sounds like you need to get it checked out by a doctor, because nobody on here is going to be able to tell you for sure what it is.

I'm not sure what it might be, you described an incredibly generic symptom, BUT, it is something he needs to get treated. and also... it's not a "vaginal" rash. Your concern for you fiance is touching.
