flat warts?
Hi there,
here's a brief summary, i'm a 23 yr old guy. My last encounter with a sexual worker was 1 yr 1 month ago. I had protected sex and unprotected oral sex. well, just 2 or 3 month ago, i've had these small bumps all over my body developing one after another in different parts of my body. 1st it was my hips, then my face and neck, then my back, chest and shoulders, then the back of my neck then my lower back. they feel like goosebumps when u touch them and they are not painful or itch (well to be precise, they do itch and cause pain only for a moment rarely). they are skin coloured and sometimes pink like pimples. some areas seem to be becoming smaller in size like my shoulder, hip and area near my collar bone but when i look at them in the mirror with the sunlight, i could see silvery scales at certain parts and small mutiple bumps at different areas especially on my upper back. my skin feels very dry all over these areas.
oh ya, i've applied pimple cream on my face and eczema cream on my neck and the bumps seemed to be lessen.
does this sound like flat warts or something else? please help me! i'm really worried!

thanks for your replies, i will listen to your advises and see a doc. btw, i have another symptom just yesterday. yesterday night, i realized that both thighs had this red bump with appearance of a mosquito bite on them, later in the night, more of these bumps appeared on my legs and right arm. (1 on each leg and 3 on right arm). they really look like mosquito bites but they don't itch, today i could see that they have a centre small bump on these red patches.
does this symptom sound like another charateristic of syphillis or something else?

As others said, see a doctor, a dermatologist if you can see one. Until you see an expert, we are just guessing.
But since we all like to guess, I would say this does not sound like warts. Warts tend to be localized, and not take over the whole body.

Sounds like it could be secondary stage of syphilis which presents as a body rash, at least to my understanding of it anyways.
No matter what it is, your best is to get tested to clear the problem and ease your mind.
Don't be overly worried about it until you find out what exactly is causing these ailments as worrying will only increase the problems.
