syphlis gummus
Hi all, what is the difference between syphlis gumma and a fat tumor. i have about a quater size cyst or tumor in my upper arm for the last 15 years. i show it to doctors during my physical, and they say its just a fat deposit called lypoma, dont worry about it. now i am thinking what if it is a syphlis gumma? it appeared 3 or 4 years after i had unprotected sex with a lady stranger. never had the courage to ask the doc that question. never had any syphilis symptoms, once in a couple of years a pimple appears on my penis and then disappears after a week, i think it is acne. i never got tested for stds. does anyone know the diff between a lypoma(fat deposit) and syphils gummus?
