What Can Cause Red Spots Or Blister-like Thing On My Arms?
Hello there doctors my name is ben, a medical technology student. I had an oral sex with my partner (that was on october 23rd) and a week after i had a flu-like symptom and had a sore throat. My muscles (arms) also hurts that time. I noticed also that i had red spots or blister-like thing on my arms (i thought it's a pimple but it's not recovering). Until now the signs and symptoms are present. I don't wanna pass the infection if i acquired some. Am i infected? What could be the infection?
