Syphilis Hair Loss

[thisisnotfunny]

I recently took a syphilis test and am waiting for the result to come out. While I am not worried about the sexual modes of transmission, I am still concerned as it is still possible to get it through non sexual modes. The activity that I involved in was only lap dances where I was always clothed.

During these dances the girls were topless or naked. Sometimes I might have touched a girl's vagina like superficial fingering, closed mouth kissing where I never opened my mouth and kissing/sucking on nipples/breasts and contact with other parts of the body with my face or hands.

I do not recollect any time when I had a chancre on my fingers or mouth. Once I had a weird kind of single rash on my belly, not sure if it was a chancre.

I have had issues with skin/acne so I cannot tell for sure if I overlooked any rash associated with the second stage of syphilis.

What worries me is that I have hair loss on the top of my head where it is pretty thin now. This has happened over years. The sides and the back of my head do not have any hair loss or thinning.

Is it possible to have hair loss thinning over the entire top part of my head with syphilis?

Is syphilis hair loss chronic and widespread or is it like bald patches? Also does it resolve on its own without treatment or diagnosis? The reason is since I did not get tested until a few days back, could it have caused hair loss over the years actively?

Please appreciate your response.

Got my result this morning and I am good with Syphilis. It came back non reactive for a RPR test.

Vance, that should be proof enough for me right?

I have a soft corner for strippers as well. I sometimes feel that they may be at equal risk for worries coming into contact with folks that come visit them at clubs.

That is what worries me about strippers not that I feel they are sluts etc.

Trying to keep a sane mind here and not worry anymore but it's not easy..

Syphilis is rare in developed countries and very rare in women. Because of those factors and because of what you did I would not worry about it. When I was 18-20 years old and when I went to a strip club I never even thought about a STD from dancing. Remember just because they are strippers does not mean they are toxic. They are women simple as that. They make there living doing something that clearly people want to see. Doesn't make them bad or sluts.
In college I knew a girl that was with more men then I can to remember and she was not a stripper. But I would have felt safer with a stripper then her.

Thanks for the response Vance. Based on the activities/risk mentioned, do you think I need to concern about it?

The reason I got paranoid is because I am not sure if any of those dancers had any type of secondary syphilis skin rash over their back etc

I know you mentioned that I cannot associate it with hair loss but when I looked at some of the pictures, I got scared.

You can't link hair loss to syphilis.
If you never noticed a canker then you never had one. You do not get syphilis from non-sexual means.
