Brief Answer:
Recommended tests that can rule out possible causes
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thank you for using HCM to post your question.
I read carefully your question and I understand your concern.
The rash you are describing really does not fit to the description of any common problem. And also, it has appeared fast after the sexual contact, so its less likely that its something coming from it. In general it needs around one week for a sexually transmitted infection to show symptoms.
Anyway, to rule out a sexually transmitted infection these are the tests you need to do:
-- Gonorrhea and Chlamydia in urethral secretions.
-- HIV and syphilis in the blood.
Also, since the rash its not typical I would also recommend doing a complete blood count where you can check for a possible infection or a blood problem.
Hope this is helpful. Feel free to let me know the results of the tests so we can follow up.
Regards,
Dr.Papaqako
