Oh its fine - I never took any offense to it. People should ask me, or anyone else, what qualifies them to give them advice, especially if its medical advice.
Good luck. I also agree that the spots on your hands could be an allergic reaction. If you notice it again, make note of any lotions or chemicals you have used, food you've eaten, etc.

I dont mean to come off like a smart ***, Im sorry.
I am fed up with Drs and there total lack of caring and there unresponsiveness as well.
One of my drs claims that alot of my syptoms are in my head...which is ridiculous as I dont think people have the ability to create rash on their palms or make their hands go numb by conious or unconcious thought.
One of these days Im sure I find out whats up.
I have a feeling that the spots were some allergic reaction to the bug bite.
The numbness is probably related to the back problem and is manifesting itself as a pinched nerve in the neck as well.....I exercise alot for an older guy
thanks again
Well, outside of STDs, I don't have a lot of weight. I've worked in the std field for a long time, as an educator, HIV/Hep C testing, disease tracker, etc.
But I do know that back problems can cause all kinds of strange symptoms, and that when my dad had similar symptoms to yours, they evaluated him for back problems and Parkinsons. Turned out to be Parkinsons, but his back was where they looked first.
You are very young for Parkinsons, so that isn't something you should worry about, so the back issue makes sense.
I'm also not named for Dukes of Hazzard lol. I really am an Auntie Jessi, and I am just not all that creative with names.

besides being the wife of uncle jessie from the dukes of hazzard, what gives you any weight in terms of medical knowledge?
I'd say that's a definite possibility, and you need to follow up on that. Make sure your doctor knows the extent of your symptoms.

I had an MRI on my lower lumbar and it turned out that there is a problem with my disk.
I havent spoken with dr yet but knowing this what do you think?
You are experiencing some fairly significant symptoms that need to be addressed. They aren't caused by an std, and could be indicative of something far more serious.
Aj
What you did is not a risk for an STD.
The rash can be from many things. Too many things to list. Things that are common in life.
