Things to NEVER google: folliculitis and/or mrsa...

Especially google images.  DH has a rash on his butt - I think it's folliculitis (from him scratching at an ingrown hair or two.  Dope.)  Oh and yes, I meant to write DH - not DS.  Jack's butt is fine.

So being the pseudo doctor that I pretend to be - I HAD to google image the two conditions mentioned above.

Just - don't.  Seriously.  I am literally nauseous and realize I could NEVER have been a real doctor.  I would have barfed every day.

FWIW - I think it IS folliculitis and he has a derm appointment tomorrow morning.  For his barnacle butt.  BLECH!!!  (And I'm about to ovulate - and he has barnacle butt.  Great.)  

Wheee!

    Ha!  Good luck w/ getting turned on by his barnacle butt!  And I'll be sure not to google those ailments.

    Childhood cancer (DH) + chemo + radiation = 0 sperm.
    LO #1 - 1 unmedicated/self-monitored IUI w/ donor sperm.
    LO #2 - 1 m/c, 2 BFNs, 4th IUI worked (unmedicated/self-monitored with new donor sperm).
    Life is beautiful!

    Same thing happened to us!  DH got a rash all over his legs and I also googled away.  MRSA is not a pretty sight!!!  DH ended up getting diagnosed with folliculitis.  It just looks like pimples all over his legs and they itch him like crazy!  I feel your pain though... I wasn't too interested in sexy time either when he had it real bad lol.  Hope he gets  better soon!

    FWIW, my DH has a sort of chronic folliculitis on his upper arms from being a gym rat.  It does get better, I swear ;-)

    This thread is equal parts hilarious and gross!  Hahaha, hope he can get a solution soon!

    We used to have a down comforter on our bed and DH had to go to the doctor for a super bad heat rash he got from it.  I loved that comforter but for the sake of no more rashes...it had to go!  My DH is like a furnace when he sleeps...we could probably go winter camping and be toasty:)

    GL with the sexy time!

    We did work around it.  Anybody ever want instructions on an at-home "IVI" (not IUI - IVI) - let me know...
