I was wondering if this sounds like Syphilis or something else .
So to start off , I discovered 3 raised red bumps with indented or holes in center on my penile shaft around end of February beginning of March 2018 . My girlfriend and I (whom I’ve only been dating since the beginning of February 2018 ) had unprotected sex after we discovered these because we thought they were ingrown hairs . I should back track and say there was no symptoms or pain I found them upon masterbstion in the morning (very end of February or beginning of March )and there was a little discomfort from that but other than that basically painless . Well after sex they opened up into some thing similar to an ulcer or chancer and we’re painless some discomfort during sex but that’s about it . They started scabbing around March 6th but the scabs easily fell off due to friction from clothing and movement and were just open most the time . One healed and left a scar with red skin around it the other two formed scabs but don’t seem healed still As of 4-18-18. I recently developed a very mild rash on my stomach and rib cage area just under the chest line . It’s a bunch of light colored reddish spots maybe a cm in diameter all over this area not itchy what so ever . Her and I both had a few sexual partners before we hooked up and by a few I mean recent not total . I guess my main question is does this sound like Syphilis something else or something worse ? My main concern is the 3 sores that were and on my penis the biggest worse one healed by scared and has flaky res skin around it the other two are scabbed still and also have white flaky look but scabs them selves are dark in color like a normal scab . From what I’ve read on Syphilis the time line between sores and body rash checks out but the internet ks full of Mia information and I’m lookin for some closure I hope it’s as simple as Syphilis . I’m going for test and everything this week because I realized it wasn’t just ingrown hairs or a minor skin infection after I seen the rash on my stomach I knew it was time to go get tested . Any input would be great thank you .
