Syphilis
I had unprotected oral sex with a guy 5 months ago, i was the one who received it. Is there any chance i can get syphilis thru this? Last month, i saw a pimple-like thing on thigh, i scratched it and it was kind of peeled off and bleed. It did not end up like an ulcer but it looked like the appearance of flesh and dried up. I know maximum incubation for syphilis is 3 months so the possibility of me having chancre last month is quite low. However, i had a flu within the 3 months and i had about 6 pills of amoxycillin for it. Would the medicine postpone the incubation period?
Almost certainly you don't have syphilis, and syphilis rash almost never itches. We don't look at photos of rashes on this forum. Just find a way to get the blood test so you can stop worrying.
Hi HowardH, recently there non itchy and non painful rash appear on my back, is it possible to be syphilis rash? I am not convenient to go for a blood test in this month. I do have a picture but i don;t know how to post it out.
