Is this syphilis

About 3-4 weeks ago i recieved unprotected oral sex from a female i did not know. I am a male. I then got tested for gon and clam which came back neg. But no i have this little red dot on the side of my penis shaft. It doesnt seem raised at all and it doesnt hurt what so ever. I scratched on it and it did get a bit flaky like dry skin. I am worried its syphillis. I am going to get tested but does it sound like it is.

Ok makes me feel a little better. I hate when i think something is wrong and i start googling things. Cause some sites says a red dry patch can be syphallis because at times the cancre sore can be beneath the skin so u can not see it

Syphilis is very rare and I would think extremely unlikely given this single low  risk episode. I would not be worried from this encounter.
The risk the female was infected is very very low and even if she was the risk of a 1 time exposure reduces the already very low risk further still.

Yea its not raised at all i used a magnifying class phone app and it looks red and dry ots very small about 1cm. Im just so worried i took a blood test this morning should hear back in 3 to 5 days. If my exposure was 3 weeks ago would it show on the blood test. I havent slept or eaten in days cause im so stressed out. Is syphallis pretty rare in the USA im in central US.

I don't think it's syphilis. It would be normally first a pimple kind of raised reddish thing, then within one or two days breaks open into a real open sore.(without blood) with a hard border. And will last for at least 2 weeks minimal. Next to this mostly it will get to a size of approx 1cm. For the second stage the symptoms are more diverse and could look like other deseases.
