The one on my thigh is more painful and a little itchy sometimes. This one has been there for maybe two weeks now. But I do often get spots in that area. I am just a little more concerned since reading about syphilis. I received VERY BREIF (literally 2 seconds) of unprotected oral sex just over one week ago. Could this be related? I know primary syphilis sometimes presents cankers, but I don't really know this difference between a spot and a canker and how to tell. Do either of these look like a canker to you?Thanks for your time!
Brief Answer:
I have seen the picutres.This DOES NOT look like syphilis at all.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for writing back to me,
I understand your concern.
I have had a look at the pics you send they were clear and let me assure you
This DOES NOT look like syphilis at all.
Syphilis rashes are more like ulcers or cankers which are crusted areas rash you have is like a local inflammation of hair follicles you don;t have to worry.
Oral sex:
The sexual interaction you had does not seem to be related because partner didn't have any sign otherwise you wouldn't have gone for sex ,plus these rashes are no way like syphilis or any other STD for that matter.
Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help if not then don't forget to close the discussion and rate it.
