Worried about possible exposure

While I was away in Australia I was with a prostitute when I was extremely drunk. I have never done anything like it before and low and behold the condom broke.  I stopped after this and when I came home had some symtoms which could be chlamydia so got a urine test and medication. However, the doctor did tell me to come back if I developed any red spots.  Today is about 2 weeks after exposure and I am pretty sure I found a Chancre on the inside of my leg in the groin area.  I am wondering if the Zithromax would make it pointless to get a blood test for this now or should I wait? also I hear that Syphilis infections are on the rise again, not to mention this prostitute could have been riddled.

thanks in advacne

Thanks, Im hoping its NOT an ulcerative type lesion.. but im going to get seen on Tuesday anyway, I just wondering whether the zithromax affected the blood test.  I also went at the spot/chancre whatever it is so it looks like a sqweezed spot now and its rather small but has a slight opening to it... anyway cheers for the answer, a full screen is my best bet now.

This is a busy forum so sometimes questions slide off the front page before anyone has a chance to get to them. bumping it back up was the right thing to do :)

The thing about waiting a few weeks is you lose your chance at fast answers. I recommend going to be seen today or tomorrow and getting this looked at.   An ulcerative type lesion isn't likely to be something that zithromax will clear up so being seen now is appropriate.
