Dry palms and rash on arms a symptom of STD?

After giving a hand job and protected anal and unprotected oral sex about 11 weeks back, I am experiencing a unusually dry palm and goose-bump like rash on my arms. I tested negative for all STDs aside from HSV-1(which I already had from a very young age) 50 days post exposure and I am still worried.

Hard to say here most of the activity was risk free.

I only see a risk in the unprotected oral. Which risks Gonorrhoea, chlamydia, hsv1, syphilis.

The only one of these that could cause symptoms like you have is syphilis. Does your test include syphilis? If so it’s not syphilis.

Syphilis is rare so I highly doubt it’s that if you haven’t tested but maybe if you let me know your full testing history I could help more.

Final thoughts have you been self testing ? It’s not a good idea when you have symptoms. A qualified Dr can look at the full picture not just STI. It’s probably time to look at other causes now.

I took a full 10-panel STD Check from stdcheck.com at 50 days post expsoure
Hey,

I have just looked at this test panel you have done. Wow you paid a lot for some Unnecessary test but it’s done now (another good reason against self tests)

But it proves the symptoms are not due to syphilis or any of the other STI you tested for.

Time to look for other causes I’m afraid (they are many many many more; that even before we started was more likely than an STI)

Hope you get better soon.
