    Your GP spotted something specific rather than guessing. A rash in those two places is one of the classic signs, and it’s the reason you’re being tested rather than being sent away with cream.

    The thing to hold onto while you wait is that this is a very treatable infection, and it being picked up at this stage rather than years later is the good version of this story.
