    May i ask if you’re concerned regarding this why haven’t you gotten tested? 6 months is more than enough time for if anything was contracted to show up. But red spots that disappear quickly might suggest something is irritating your skin. Or you could be dealing with a yeast infection. But that’s just my opinion. Tests would be more conclusive than my opinion.

      That’s great to hear. I know it takes a lot for one to push themselves specially when you’re dealing with STDs. I’m hopeful that everything will turn out fine. I wish you the best. Keep us posted with how it goes with your doctor.

    When you see them appear get tested within the 1st two days to swab test. Also ask for blood work. Those two things are the only way you will know what you have with mild breakouts like that. Find a local planned parenthood and call the second you get the breakout.
