Many times walk in clinics can have more rapidly available testing than some family doctors may have. Certain tests for STD's or other possible infections in your genital area will most likely be available, with quick results at a reputable walk in clinic. On the other hand your family doctor has a rapport with you, and knows your prior medical history, but they may not deem some of the testing you feel is necessary actually necessary. My advice is to go to the walk in clinic, as they deal with these types of things on a daily basis. They may not know your prior history as much but this may be a good thing. It is always good to get a second opinion as well, so if you are not satisfied with your care at the clinic you can always have your family physician check you out as well. Good luck!

Answer 4

As a rule, the walk in clinic, especially if it is geared to STDs, will be a better bet for you to help guide you in this case. However, if you are talking about a general walk in clinic, then by all means, go to your family doctor. The general walk in clinics are staffed by physician extenders, as a rule, and don't have expertise in genital infections, but rather in diagnosing commona ailments, such as sore throats, etc.

Hi,

IMHO – if you are like me you are probably becoming allergic to ‘something,’ or ‘perhaps’ have been infected from bacteria within dirt or dust, that then causes skin eruptions/rashes/itches/scale/blisters, while a weakened immune system from an allergic reaction to poisonous-toxins will then also simultaneously promote fungal-bacteria infections.

Monistat 7, Desenex, and Head and Shoulders are anti-fungals but you really need to see an MD to better understand how difficult it is for them to diagnose severe skin maladies, and then minimally use any meds that are prescribed in order to allow your body’s immune system and skin organ to repair and grow stronger, which will then prevent reoccurrences in the future.

Due to my own weakened skin and organ systems that have been unable to handle much poison since when I was an asthmatic teen and could not use deodorants - I have learned to use hypo-allergenic non-perfumed soaps and to sometimes powder different portions of my body with cornstarch to help minimize yeast infections, whenever my micro-nutritional absorption within my gut has been less than it should be to continually repair my body.

Even though I might not have answered your question as ‘specifically’ as you may have wanted, to help you with simple and concise information on ALL itch rash illnesses and for short and long term solutions to them ALL - the following link has considerable info within a ‘report’ I recently posted on Y_A:

<> http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?… <>

The report at qid=20091113104039AAbnGet is an accumulation of my own investigations into itch rash illnesses that is ‘now’ due to my own non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, even though I have a fairly low BMI of 26. Back when my malady was at its worst - I used to be allergic to my own sweat that I was burning off during exercise or after showering - during a time in my life when I used to have considerable toxins stored within my body fat and a ‘very’ weakened immune system and skin organ.

I eventually learned that itching or rashes are symptoms of maladies that could become much worse if not healed with better non-toxic micro-nutritional choices. So since the medical profession was not very helpful to me and it took me ‘almost’ too long to understand what I am now attempting to teach others, I now take a little time each week to help others understand the need for non-toxic and ‘adequate’ micro-nutritional absorption in the gut AND for good hygiene which will then prevent or minimize every ‘dis-ease’ I am aware of.

Finally, because I am not an MD who could diagnose you ‘personally,’ I feel I should add that although I have seen that most root problems for 'skin' issues for myself and others has usually ‘always’ been from long and or short term allergic reactions to 'something' or poor hygiene COMBINED WITH a weakened lymph liver kidney skin and immune systems - IF the following symptoms would ever occur - I ‘think’ the worst rash one might possibly have quickly acquired is from deadly bacterial meningitis, ALTHOUGH bacterial meningitis would be VERY RARE.

The two quotes below are from: <> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacterial_M… <>

<>
“IF a rash is present, it may indicate a particular cause of meningitis; for instance, meningitis caused by meningococcal bacteria may be accompanied by a characteristic rash.”
<>

<>
“The MOST common symptoms of meningitis are headache and neck stiffness associated with fever, confusion or altered consciousness, vomiting, and an inability to tolerate light (photophobia) or loud noises (phonophobia). SOMETIMES, especially in small children, only nonspecific symptoms may be present, such as irritability and drowsiness.”
