Just under a fortnight ago I noticed what I thought were insect bites inside my buttocks and around my perineum. I had sat outside on the ground the previous evening wearing a tshirt and underpants (southern hemisphere here) and often sleep naked so I thought ant bites or mozzie bites were possible.
Bloody, bloody itchy though. One bite even in the crease between my thigh and vulva.
But the thing is, they're still there. And I can no longer deny that I'm getting the odd new one. The bites are little round dots with a white head I think.
A good look in the mirror, and I think it could be a rash? Or crotch fleas? Do crotch fleas even exist? It's all very red and angry.
Why is this happening to me?
This all coincided precisely with my husband coming home from a few months working away. I have no reason to suspect that he's been unfaithful to me though. And he doesn't have any symptoms of anything himself.
I am too bloody scared to google. And going to the doctor here is not very straightforward, particularly about something like this. I can buy most drugs over the counter if I can self diagnose though.
Any ideas?
I'm a bit scared to be honest. And very, very itchy.
