I can not tell without an exam, but it does seem to be something infectious. I am surprised that a wet smear or culture have not revealed anything. Perhaps you should start by doing something basic, like reading the Yeast Connection by William Crook. Now, I am not saying you have chronic yeast, but some of the tenets he puts forth in that book will help with chronic yeast and with other allergic phenomena. Hope this helps.
