Could this be Syphilis

by iceman30, Jul 25, 2008 07:20AM
Here is my situtation,

About a two weeks ago I got hand job in a massage parlor. No sex. Past Sunday for the first time I had unprotected sex with my girl friend.  After an hour or two, when I was in shower I had this intense itch on my shaft and couldn't stop scratching myself. When I turned the hot water, I had a burning sensation in the place I scratched and this when I noticed the "Spot". To me it looked like peeled skin , but wasn't sure. I stumped as nothing like this has happened to me before. This "spot" was reddish in color to start with and didn't a crater like a syphilis sore. There was no pus or clear fluid in the area. Now after days this spot has pretty much healed, the color went from reddishness to very light pink . This spot is still sensitive

Is this syphilis ..? or any other std ..? Can a person get syphilis from touching ..?...Can a syphilis sore heal by itself within 4 days ..? If my gf had yeast infection , could I get an intense itch ..?

I have never had any prior std's...I ahve always been careful with whom I have sex ...This was the only stray incident ..

I should have proof read , before I submitted . Now 4 days after I spotted the "Spot" , this thing is pretty much healed. It has gone from reddish to  very light pink, though it is sensitive and there is some itchy sensation, but not always.

You wouldn't get syphilis symptoms that fast, and they wouldn't heal that fast.  

Perhaps it was friction, or yeast, etc.  Did you use lube?  Maybe you had a reaction to that.

THanks for response. My gf was dry down there, when we started and she did complain that it was kinda hurting when I penetrated and she was diagnosed with a mild yeast infection about 7-8 months ago...I know my gf is very clean and hasn't strayed like me ...so you think this is not syphilis..? ..could it be something else ..? ..
I have also read the syphilis is  a "great imitator" and that the symptoms could be misunderstood for something else ..?
Also , if it just a peeled skin was the healing time normal ...? or too slow ...?

Sorry for all the dumb questions..It's just driving me nuts...Never knew a hand job be  so diasterous ...

Sorry - I should have answered this part first, and didn't - you won't get an std from a handjob.  I apologize for not stating that in the first place.

Take that out of the equation.  You didn't get an std from that.

If your girlfriend was dry, then this could really just be from friction and irritation.  Do you all use lube?  You should get some good lube, like Astroglide, Sliquid, Wet, Id, etc.  There are many good water based lubes you can try.
