this doesn't really sound like a syphilis related rash. I'd go back and be seen again by a dermatologist.
yes but it's not a rash but more like upper layer of skin is peeled away. I'm dark skinned so it looks patchy. the scar was never open kind of wound, no indurated edges, just a very small peeling altough I made it big because I scratched it a lot to see what it was.
do you still have your rash?
honestly I wouldn't bother with more syphilis testing .
I've done the 8th week VDRL testing and it came back negative (this time without TPHA). I'm still nervous about my antibiotic use in the 3rd week because I think it might killed the bacteria but not enough to kill them all. I'm thinking about getting the 12th week test.
6 weeks is considered conclusive. Don't see a reason for testing again. But if you had a canker then your body would have antibodies and it seems rather late for a canker to show up.
I just saw a dermatolog for this, he recommended 8th week testing. About the peeling he said altough the size is consistent with the chancre it's not the usual presentation if it is, so I have to get tested again for 2nd time. He said something about upper layer of skin is peeled and nothing more..
sounds like a fungal infection more than a std. have you been seen yet?
was this protected sex?
