What Causes Reddish Purple Patch On Arm Post Unprotected Oral Sex?
No need to worry ,symptoms are due to anxiety
Detailed Answer:
Hi
I understand your concern regarding your skin problem and I hope I am able to help you in the same.
The kind of symptoms you are developing do not point towards any std. You are probably over anxious . In case you tend to develop any skin lesions ,you can surely click s picture of the same and consult a dermatologist here on this forum .
But the symptoms you are developing at present are just suggestive of mild cold or some body allergic response .
You can take some oral antihistamines for two to three days .
Since you had an unprotected exposure with a person of unknown hiv status ,you can get a hiv testing done at three months.
Rest don't worry .

Need to find out the cause
Detailed Answer:
Hi again
The rash on your arm must have caused swelling of armpit lymph nodes . Since now the rash has healed ,it is difficult to say for sure the reason for the rash .
However if you develop any such lesions again ,you should surely consult a dermatologist with the pictures .
It is quite unusual to develop tingling and burning in the area you have mentioned .
It could either be due to over anxiety or nerve entrapment or it could be a sign of impending zoster infection .
You can start with oral cyanocobalamine tablets once daily and take for atleast two weeks to see the response . This will improve the nerve discomfort.
In case you develop any skin lesions ,do follow up .
Also just to assure you ,none of these symptoms specifically point towards any sexually transmitted disease.
