This could be oh so many things - and without seeing the lesions, and some blood work, it would be difficult to determine.  In the interim, you may wish to use a combo of a benedril cream with an antibiotic cream.... but it should be looked at, especially if it does not go away in a day or so.

It isn't the viagra- sounds like contact dermatitis- actually got poison ivy there once much the same way- it was not fun

While in one clinical trial the number of men who reported a rash was slightly greater than the placebo group, it would seem to be rare at best. Most studies that I found (purely a casual sample) did not report a rash as a side effect.

 The advice to see a doctor immediately is good. I would also recommend you avoid intimate contact until you find out whats going on.

-Good luck

I'm sure you would have mentioned this if you did but this can happen to fair skinned folks especially when they razor blade that area for the first time...

Get yourself to a physician. Just because the skin lesions do not appear in the genital region, does not rule out the possibility of an STD. There are simply too many possibilities to be able to offer any constructive suggestions on what the apparent rash may be caused by. Although it is possible that it could be a reaction to the Viagra, that is probably the least likely possibility. You need a Doctor to take a look and give you better information and recommendations.

Good luck.

You didn't say with whom you'd been having sex at the time- your wife or someone else. The way it's worded it sounds like it could have been your wife, in which case it wouldn't be an std, assuming she's clean, and you wouldn't have to hide it from her- you could discuss it. I don't think I've ever heard of any std where those kinds of symptoms show up that soon. So it could be some skin irritation, but you should see a doctor. And the area between the navel and groin is simply called the abdomen.
