Is A Red Bump On The Palm Of The Hand A Few Days After Manually Sexual Stimulation Of Partner Due To An STD Transmission?
Question: I recently went to a massage place and the guy asked me to masterbate him. I did with my right hand. He ejaculated on my side. Then he proceeded to master bate me until I ejaculated. 3 days later I notice a small red bump on the palm of my hand. The area around is is slight dark pink about the size of a nickel. I’m worried it might be an std or it could just be a bug bite.
Brief Answer:
Not likely std
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I have gone through your query and the attached picture.
The location and characteristics of the 'red bump' indicated that It is highly unlikely to be an std. The rash could be due to a big bite. You can apply calamine lotion on the area of the red rash.
Heroes virus can very rarely affect your finger tips through finger-genital transmission, called herpetic whitlow. However, in your case it is highly unlikely given the location of the lesion on palm.
Hope this answers your question
Please let me know if you need further clarification

Thanks for your quick response. So you don’t believe based on the photo I could have gotten syphilis 4 days ago due to touching his penis or his sperm and his sperm potentially being on my penis? Just want to put my mind at ease until I can get back to the United states for a quick test.

Hello again XXXXXXX
Syphilis do not present as soon and the rash will be generalised with fever and other associated symptoms. You are symptoms are not indicative of syphilis and you do not need to worry
You can very well wait until you get back to the United States to get tasting for STD down to put your mind at ease.
