Please help me

Okay guys, now i dont know if im just overreacting or something, but please listen to my story and please dont judge me.

So on saturday 11/01/2014 i had sex with a prostitute and i used a condom the entire time.

And two days later i started feeling a bit of 'rash' if you want to called it, basically first a section of my leg was itchy, then a day later a spot on my arm. now today a spot under my armpit, but the other spots faded and no itch, seems like its moving around. Theres even VERY SMALL sort of spots where the rash is, and when the itch on the spot faded out then so did the "spot".

I did some research online and apparently a rash is one of the symptoms of STD's, its no major rash with many spots, pretty minor to be honest, but please experts can you tell if you think i have catched something or tell me what to do? i am aware i can take tests but im thinking mabey theres no need?

mabey if i wait a bit and other symptoms dont arrive then im safe?

thanks guys.

Hi also, a rash is not a symptom of any std except syphilis in its later stage or shingles that older people get. Getting a rash after having protected sex would not be associated with any std.

No, I am not saying that. But there is always a very small risk with skin to skin. If you have it, there is nothing you can do about it.

Herpes is for life brother.  You will not get anything from a towel.  Skin to skin std is when you have to rub it into the skin.  I don't want you to freak out, which it looks like you might already start doing.  Most people do not have stds, even prostitutes.  Back ion the 90s, I was drunk as all get out and slept with a prostitute and did not wear a condom.  Thank the good Father I did not catch anything.  So try to relax.

That rash is not a STD. It would be too early for symptoms. Also, you would have symptoms in your groin area if you did. The only thing you would get is herpes, syphilis, or warts. This is a very low risk. These stds are caught because of skin to skin.  With me saying this, I would not worry about if if I were in your shoes unless you had some type of outbreak.
