Strange things on hands and feet

I am wondering if this is Syphilis or Herpes. I know 1 of my former girlfriends was diagnosed with herpes when we were dating. I have not had any issues with my genitals but have blister patches on my palms and fingers sometimes. They don't have white pus. They don't start as red bumps. They are just multiple itchy blisters that go away on their own after awhile. If I scratch them they seem to raise up. Also I have for years had some strange blister like things on the bottom of my feet. They are  sometimes in clusters like my hands and sometimes not. Like my hands, they are clear fluid filled. If I pop them or scratch them they get worse and more develop. I don't know what this is and am embarrassed to go to a doctor. I know they will report me and it will be in my permanent medical record. Not having sex is bad enough. I don't want anyone to know. I wish I could get anonymous testing and treatment. Confidential is not the same as anonymous.

when you have blood drawn at the lab, does the lab want your ID to do thier part or can you do the whole thing anonymously, blood and testing?

You can get anonymous testing through several online sources. They do not require you to give your real name. You just show up at the laboratory.

However, I have no idea what this could be. There is a viral infection that causes "hand, foot, and mouth" which sounds similar. However, I do not think that it occurs multiple times.

I get tiny little white blisters on my fingers. However, I believe that this is common and is not Herpes. Herpes usually has a red base of inflammation from what I understand.
