We are both itchy in our genital areas after sex By Aunty Julie Aunty Julie, A few weeks after my boyfriend and I had sex, we discovered we were both itchy in our genital areas.

Aunty Julie,

A few weeks after my boyfriend and I had sex, we discovered we were both itchy in our genital areas.

We postponed sex thinking it was just a yeast infection, his symptoms being redness and a bit of bumps, mine being itchy redness.

Two weeks later, we had sex again thinking it was cleared, because we were symptom free and then it came back again. He has multiple bumps on and under his foreskin along with itchiness and redness. I feel slight itchiness and a little redness. What might this be?

Dear Jessica,

You may have been right in the first instance. It does sound a bit like a yeast infection but you need to treat it to make it get better. You’ll need to see a doctor and explain your symptoms, which is a bit embarrassing but the best way for them to know what to suggest.

If you try this and it gets better, that’s probably what it was .

I recommend going to see a doctor anyway as you two should get a routine test for STIs, especially chlamydia, as well as make sure you’re using a reliable form of birth control.
