Syphilis Chancre on Neck?

azt
I have a hard like lump on my neck thats sore. No puss, just swollen. Its at the bottom of my beard area, so it could well be an ingrown hair although I don't really get them, only occasinally, and I'm concerned following an episode of unprotected cunnilingus around 4 weeks ago that it could be a Syphilis chancre? Has anyone ever heard of a chancre on the neck - is it possible?

Thanks

I am sure that it is possible, but it would be 1 in a 1,000,000,000,000,000...you have to come into direct contact with a syphilis sore so chances are your neck would not but your tongue would.
Also syphilis is rare in developed countries and rare in women.
