What Causes Rashes And Black Spots With Discharge From It?

hi. I was diagnosed with genital herpes several years ago .recently I had an affair and I noticed shortly after I was beginning to break out in rashes across my chest and dark spots across my hands and feet which disappear and reappear frequently. I self medicated with amoxicillin 500 two pills a day for 6days. I do believe i may have already had some sort of bac. infection because i noticed a significant increase in energy in my regular daily activities after taking the meds. Yet I notice I still have a discharge and rashes on my body. what concern should I have

Internal Medicine Specialist,  's  Response
My concern is that you have secondary syphilis. You've already had one STD, which puts you are at risk for another, especially now with the recent affair. Secondary syphilis means the syphilis germ has been in your body awhile and is now spreading. It typically presents with many different types of rashes. Syphilis may respond to penicillin, which amoxicillin is a form of, but unless you receive an adequate treatment for a longer period of time, you will not get rid of it. I recommend you see your doctor and get tested for syphilis, and get the appropriate therapy if you have it. Hope this helps.
