OK I tried viagra last week.  First time id' used it - only used 1/2 a pill.  We'd done it once but I wanted a little extra help for round 2, so popped the 1/2 pill, and soon I was raring to go again - went at it for probably 30 minutes.. cumming felt a little stranger than normal - not "bad" just not as natural, but all was fine basically.
Next day, or maybe it was 2 days later, I notice i've got a whole bunch of pimples/zits on my skin - in the area (sorry don't know the technical anatomical name) above my groin/genitals but below my belly-button.  
I know it can't be an STD since it's not on my penis and everything's normal down there.  But it's spread out over that area I described - probably 15-20 little zits w/white caps.
What should I do? Any creams or stuff I should use? I'm wearing a shirt so wife doesnt' see LOL
Never had this happen so was wondering if it was a reaction to the viagra or something else?
Thanks

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.

friend
please don't kill the messenger...
there is no hope for you...
there is only one thing you can do, you hav to lopp it off to save your impending death....this is very serious...go in your garage now, use what ever you have (screw driver, baseball bat, machette, shovel, what ever) , then tie it up w/a rag & go to the emergency room, all will then be well...

i agree, if u shaved esp with a razor it could be that. mite try a good dermatologist.....could also be a little case of molluscum contagiosum (go ahead and google it...the mayo clinic link is pretty good as are some of the others....a fairly common curable problem)...........note- i am NOT a doctor.

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.

Sounds like it's shaving that might've been angered by a sweaty session.

I'd tell the wife it was heat rash if she asks. Just say something like it was hot in my office and my shirt was tight against my belly.
(believable.)

Thanks for the replies guys.
No I didn't shave, however I did do some trimming w/scissors of some excess hair "down there" but it really isn't in the same area.
The sex was w/someone other than my wife.. not a provider however.  It's ironic I've been with many providers w/no problems, then have a one-nighter with a non-working girl and this happens - it's not super-obvious..wife hasn't noticed.  And it does look like the marks are going away slowly - I'm going to google a couple of the possibilities mentioned here - thanks so much!
