Do you think I have a std?
My bestfriend and I gave eachother blowjobs and pretended it was a girl. We did for a period of time when I was in 8th and he was in 7th. Then maybe a little during my freshman summer before my soph year which was his 8th grade summer before his freshman year. I never did anything like that with anyone else. I have a girlfriend now. My friend and i are fine today but we dont talk. I'm a senior now. I had a red bump on my penis shaft a couple years ago i did show my mom and dad but not the doctor there's still a scar there though and I showed my mom that. I also have this rash that comes and goes during summer that's on my hands and feet that I've had for years that the doc said is contact dermatitus. I've never been tested for stds. I don't wanna tell anyone about me and my friend experimenting not even the doctor. Do u think I have a life threatening std like syphillis or somthing?
Sorry, but I am not familiar with STDs. But as you and your friend did have blowjobs, it is likely that your spot may have been a bite, or a fungal infection.
If you look up syphilis on the web, it does mention about that in the second stage of the illness you could get a non-itchy skin rash appearing anywhere on the body, but commonly on the palms of the hands or soles of the feet, tiredness, headaches, swollen lymph glands. It doesn't mention that the rash comes and goes or whether it stays all the time.
And as you have experienced a rash that comes and goes on your hands and feet, it is better to get checked out as a precaution. It may just be that your rash is contact dermatitis like your doctor said, but as you did omit information to him, he would only be able to diagnose what he knew.
I do not think that you have syphilis. But I know this will be bugging you and preying on your mind until you get checked out and get the correct diagnosis. Find out if there is a sexual clinic that you go to get checked out. As I do not live in the US, I do not know what you have available.
Best wishes.

Is it likely though that I actually have a std from this? Especially a deadly one like syphilis?
You can find out the first, second and third stages of syphilis on the web.
If you are concerned, you could make an appointment and get checked out at a sex clinic. These are usually very discreet and no one would need to know where you were going. And you do not have to tell the clinic anything, but just go and get checked out.
I don't know if you have a GUM clinic in your local hospital or walk in centre. I am sure you would be able to find details about this.
It would be a good idea to get your scar checked out where you had your bump to put your mind at ease and give you the all clear.

Millions of people are diagnosed with STDs in the U.S. each year.
STDs can't be transmitted by casual contact, like hugging or touching.
Syphilis is an STD that is transmitted by oral, genital and anal sex.
Discharge often isn't normal, and could mean an infection or an STD.
STDs aren't transmitted through clothing. Fabric is a germ barrier.
Normal vaginal discharge varies in color, smell, texture and amount.
