A syphilis rash lasts 2 to 6 weeks. It wouldn't just last a few days. It would also be far more widespread.

I can't help you with what is causing all of your symptoms, but a lesion in your MRI would indicate that you need to see a neurologist.

You can rule out syphilis easily with very simple blood testing. Have you had that? You should get that done to at least rule it out so you can focus on other things. I hope you get some answers soon.

I saw on Google That symptoms will be minor and the rash  will go away without any treatment.. Thanks a lot
Yes, it could be minor, but it wouldn't just be in one spot on your chest, and wouldn't last just a few days. Really, the easiest way to get an answer about syphilis is to get a test. No one can tell you definitively if you have it without testing.

Let us know what happens. :)
