[Question #2582] Syphilis still worried
96 months ago
|
I
went to a massage parlor and the woman sat naked on my back. Then I turned over
for a handjob. 4 weeks later I noticed a small red spot on my
skin.lower back, , It was flush with the skin., a week or so later I had another flat red spot show
up and then a week later a brownish lesion flat with skin like 1/2 inch,,
looked like a burn. It was not painful. I noticed these after I would cut grass
for hours on the lawnmower. The original first red mark went away after a
week,, maybe 8-9 days.. I picked at the other bigger lesion (spot on skin) and
it came off and left a scar.
I was worried it was syphilis.
I went to my doctor and he said it did not look like syphilis. He knew I have
anxiety so he did a RPR blood test. It was non reactive,. This was done 7 weeks
after my massage experience. I was still worried and anxious after the test, so
I went to my moms house and let her see the spot on my lower back. She touched
it, Now I am worried if it happened to be syphilis could she have been infected
on her finger? She is 83 years old.She ended up with a sore on her side of the
thumb by the knuckle. Then she had what seemed to be a bad sinus
infection. Fever, very sore throat. 1 year later she has developed a pain in
her right knee and tenderness by the joint. I cannot keep it out of my
mind for over a year now that what I had might have been syphilis and when my
mom looked at it she touched it ,that is might have caused a
transmission, not sure that part of her finger would have touched the
spot I had but it still worry's me. Please help
My main concern is that if it were syphilis and my mom touched it she might have got infected on her thumb. She got a sore on the side of her thumb.. then couple months later she got sore throat and tender lymph nodes . it has been a couple years now.. she is 83.. she has developed some memory issues and urinary incontinence.. I guess I am thinking that this is neurosyhilis. she also gets lightheaded and her vision has changed som
