Question: Hello,

I have recently broken out in a rash covering most of my torso, back, upper thighs and some of my arms. I went to my doctor and with he immediately diagnosed me with Pitirysis Rosea. After doing some more research on the condition it seems like this condition can be mixed up with secondary syphilis.



I am worried because about 4-5 weeks ago I went to a massage parlour and undertook mutual masturbation.(with a female) (Her giving me a hand job at the same time as me putting my finger in her vagina.) As far as I know she never touched herself, and neither did I during this process. No other contact of a risky sexual nature was made.



My question is that given the above information how likely is it that my rash is caused by secondary syphilis as i understand that it is very rare for syphilis to be contracted this way.





A few points to consider,



My rash is itchy (apparently syphilis rash is often not), and it does not appear on the palms of my hands or soles of my feet.



I never noticed any of the symptoms of stage 1 syphilis .eg chancres, ext.



Thank you,



I'm worried sick and wondering if i should get tested properly.
