Syphilis - Please help
Tomorrow Jan 8, I will be getting my VDRD bloodwork back. It is very likely that I am in the secondary stage of syphilis (presence of a rash on my face and also the greyish sopts that weep on my scrotum).
I was wondering, after taking the dose of penicilin (assuming that even in the event of me having to get more than one dose, the infection would start to clear) how long before the visual symptoms disappear i.e. the facial rash (which is not too bad as compared to the pictures I have seen on the internet) and also the symptoms on my scrotum.
Also, after the injection, I heard, that some patients suffer symptoms such as fever and chille etc. However, I was wondering, will the symptoms be aggravated? i.e. will the rash worsen after I go on the course of antibiotics?

Yeah I will be getting the results today. Hopefully it is something treatable. Gosh, this sucks.
