im getting paranoid if i have some sort of infection, can you help?

So I've been noticing a rash in my scrotum on the right side. At times it may itch but nothing too crazy. I notice if i scratch it it gets really red and irritated. In one spot it almost looks like an open cut as if i broke the skin when i scratched down there. I've looked up herpes symptoms showing multiple bumps with clear heads that burst then scab over and I have not seen that. I religiously use condoms so im getting anxious what is going on. I saw a dermatologist a week ago and she said it didn't look like herpes but we would have a follow up soon. Any idea what this could be? it's like a small rash it's really sensitive and irritated then goes away after a few days. I'm stumped. I've NEVER had unprotected sex, and with my luck i rarely get sex as it is. I'm hoping it isn't anything related in that area but im not sure what else could be going on.

Something you can definitely ask a dermatologist from Harvard on this app: Doctorpocket.ca/Dl

You can connect with them in less than 24 hours.

Maybe its jock itch. Get a can of antifungal spray powder or a tube of cream.

Jock itch.

BTW - condoms only protect you from getting herpes on the covered area. If an uncovered part of your skin rubs against a herpes lesion, you can get herpes.

Something you or a specialist might not think of is Dermatitis herpetiformis which is from eating gluten (celiac disease).
