Another day, another reason to be as careful in the hobby as you can. New York is being hit with a fungal strain that is leaving some New Yorkers with bad rashes around their penises along with very uncomfortable places.
They're calling the fungal infection TMVII. A recent case study involved a man who traveled to England, Greece, and California, engaging in sexual activity with men who did not report similar symptoms. Dr. John G. Zampella emphasized the importance of physicians directly asking sexually active patients, especially those who have traveled, about any rashes in the groin and buttocks.
Even though this is mainly being spread by man sleeping with other men, from what I can see if you're sticking your dick in a butt it's a fair small chance you'll catch this.
TMVII typically responds to antifungal treatments like terbinafine, but it can take months to clear up and is often mistaken for eczema, which delays proper treatment. Another fungal infection, Trichophyton indotineae, widespread in India and first identified in the US last year, often resists terbinafine. Researchers from NYU Grossman School of Medicine found that seven patients treated with terbinafine did not improve, possibly due to fungal genetic mutations. Itraconazole was more effective but can cause side effects and interact with other medications.
Although TMVII and Trichophyton indotineae remain relatively rare in the US, researchers are expanding their studies. These findings underscore the need for accurate diagnosis and effective treatment plans to manage patients' quality of life.
My opinion, make sure you're being careful. This is no different from then any other time you're going BB. You can't test for this but if you're sticking your dick somewhere you're going to check to make sure the coast is clear.
