Simple question I think??

I was jut wondering how long after a syphilis sore shows up does it grow into a it's full size chancre, I've had a small spot on my penis for a week now and just want to know what it could be.  I have a little discomfort sometime in my penile region.  No pain during urination or masterbation at all.  The spot hasn't seemed to get any bigger and it's not wet or anything like that, and is it also possible I could be thinking so much about this and causing the faint pain myself?  Any help is good help and I really appreciate your time!

Pheww well that closes the door on that one, I've been trying to google it and have had no luck getting a straight answer like that.  Thank you very much!  Now to figure out what the hell this spot could be, do you have any suggestions on what it may be?

If the spot is under where the condom was on your penis then it would not be syphilis. Condoms protect the area covered.

I'm had protected sex with a working girl a month ago Thursday, a few days before that I noticed this pin sized spot on my penis.  I mean the spot is small enough u can only see it when u really look.  It has been the worse decision of my life , I bent my penis in the act and the night of the encounter and I felt a faint pain, nothing itches or anything like that.  Then I seem syphilis and read how u can still contract with a condom on and I have been going crazy since stressing myself out.  Which in turn I think is causing these "pains" at times, is that possible?

Hi, first of all when a syphilis sore appears its already a sore and does not grow into one. Why are you concerned with syphilis, what sexual encounter did you have?
