Syphilis from giving oral
About 16 months or so ago I gave a blowjob for about 10-15 seconds, and this is the only sexual exposure in my life. About 1-2 weeks later, I noticed an itchy rash form on my neck and shortly after that, another rash formed on my trunk that looked like the pityriasis rosea rash. It went away after about a month but since then I've had chronic hives, foamy urine, and a random pimple in my groin area and one on my leg.
I initially saw a doctor about this and she said she wouldn't worry about syphilis in this instance, but this was before I kept getting these chronic hives, or random bouts of itchy red patches on my skin. Should I be worried about syphilis in this case? I didn't notice a chancre on the guy I blew but the car was dark so I can't say with 100% certainty that there was no sore. Additionally, I didn't notice a chancre develop before my rash however it could've been in my mouth and thus hard to notice. Does a chancre need to be present for syphilis to spread, or can it be spread through pre-cum as well? I'm just worried now that I've had syphilis for two years without realizing it but realistically how likely is syphilis in this scenario? I had a blood test early last year with a high WBC count and high basophils suggesting an active chronic infection.

Greetings.
First and foremost, you don't have syphilis. You doctor was right and you should pay attention to what doctors say: they are trained professionals after all.
Answering your question: yes, chancre should definitely be present and it is hard to miss a chancre in your mouth (those are usually quite large and sometimes painful).
Your blood test results are not related to syphilis, it is only suspected or diagnosed with specific tests.
Your exposure couldn't possibly produce the symptoms you described. Rash only appears during secondary syphilis, usually 2-3 months after exposure or later. Hives and foamy urine are never related to syphilis as are random pimples.
If you are that worried, why don't you do a simple blood syphilis test? It will be negative, by the way.
