I had a red rash on my belly that disappeared after a shower, and now around my belly button? What is the cause? Is it an STD after 1.5 of unsafe sex?

Dr. Zakia Dimassi Pediatrics
This could be a form of urticaria or hives, which can be localized or more generalized, involving multiple parts of the body. This is usually an allergic reaction at the level of the skin. Careful review of your daily practices, exposures (like body lotion, perfumes, new underwear etc.) is necessary to try and figure out what might have triggered this allergic response. It is unusual for sexually transmitted infections to induce such manifestations.
