Is it Herpes or Syphilis?

i dont know what to think anymore, but i was told i might have herpes by my doctor. I never got the test results back because my phone got turned off. and that was in july.. anyways i started taking the medication but i stopped because my out break got worst. it wasnt a lesion it just looked like a rash on my hip. and the rash just got bigger and bigger and it wont go away. its still here and its been here for over a month now. So i was just looking up if it could be something else and i came across this..





';Primary Syphilis first sage symptoms include swollen glands and painless small ulcers usually located near the genital area that disappear in 3 weeks. If not treated syphilis may move to its second stage and cause a rash covering parts of the body or the entire body. It usually appears 4 to 10 weeks after the first stage symptoms. Other common symptoms include sore throat, fatigue, headache, and swollen lymph glands, less frequent symptoms include flu like symptoms, weight loss, hair loss, aching joints, or sores in the mouth or genital area.';


What do you think? and when i was told i had herpes i was only getting outbreaks on my vaginal area. it has come back a few times but not recently, maybe once last month. When i first thought i had herpes i did have a swollen lymph-nod i had went to the doctors and my doctor told me what it was, then the next day after the doctors appointment i was feeling itchy in my vaginal area, then i got a lesion so i went to the doctors a month later and thats when she told me that i might have herpes. but again i dont know what i have please help?Is it Herpes or Syphilis?
I am not a doctor but have worked in an STI clinic.


Nobody could give you a diagnosis without seeing the rash and running the relevant tests.


You must go to your doctor or to a GUM clinic. It is important that you do and if your phone is turned off you must either ring them or go see them for your results.
