3. Itching
is common in men and women when they have trichomoniasis. In women, the itching is in and around the vagina around. This is similar to having a yeast infection and the woman may think getting some Monistat cream may clear the infection.
It may alleviate the itch, but trichomoniasis will still be present. In men, he will have irritation in and around his penis. He may decide to put some kind of over-the-counter ointment on his skin to help with the itch, but it may or may not clear it up. In fact, it might make the trichomoniasis worse. When it comes to itching, there will be some redness, especially if the person decides to scratch the area.
Blisters may form and if the blisters pop, it may spread. If the person is itching in their genitals and don’t tell their sexual partner, the condition will spread to them and may even be worse since the person has been scratching.
