Coming back from DR vacation with nasty red bumps breaking out on thighs and shaft
Did I contract a disease or what? I just got back from my 4/20-4/23 Boca Chica vacation. There are a bunch of red, acne looking patches of bumps on my 2 inner thighs, my stomach, the base of the shaft of my penis and my pube pouch. They dont hurt and dont have any shallow ulcers. Looks like Follicitis or heat bumps from overly excess "dating". Took at STD bloodtest 3 days ago, will have results monday, but doc doesnt think its an STD since its on my legs and stomach as well. No burning or painful feeling while urinating.
How many of you came back from the DR with these nasty, painless, itchless bumps all over your body? What the heck can this be? Can this be related to the Haino lead poisioning or maybe because I was swimming in polluted, tainted waters?
I am feeling lethargic as well, run down, and diarhhea... 
help me please

Get checked for scabies, a parasite infection of the skin. In the meantime wash all of your bedding and clothes in hot water.

Although there doesn't seem to be any scientific proof of the following treatment, everybody around here makes a poultice from buttermilk and Tabasco sauce, half & half, and it works like a miracle.

I've said it before, and I will say it again, Boca Chica beach is heavily contaminated. If you by any chance bathe in its waters, take a good hot shower immediately afterwards, and with plenty of soap lathering. I do not like to diagnose skin disorders without inspection, but I suspect you have a bacterial skin infection, probably staph. I would recommend spreading over the lesions, twice a day, an antibiotic ointment of mupirocin (available in most pharmacies as Bactroban 15g), for at least seven days.
