Q: Spider Bite Or Std???

About 2 weeks ago, I was taking a shower and noticed 5-6 bites in the same place on my lower stomach that looked to be mosquito bites... I didn't pay much attention to it. A day or two after the bite I had sexual intercourse with a woman, and about 8-10hrs. After that I started developing an itchy red rash in my groin/pubic area (not on genitals) at work... I work in a kitchen so heat and humidity seemed to cause the onset. The rash is very itchy, small red marks, some with whiteheads... And lately they have formed very small scabs and are fading. They do not look similar to the pictures of herpes I have seen, but this is what I first guessed. I started to get a bit of the rash on my arms, thighs, etc, I looked my symptoms up online and it seems very similar to a spider bite. About a week later the rash is still there, it seems to be fading... But increases after sweating (work, sexual activity) I have also noticed as of late I feel angry and irritable in the morning, and have violent dreams. I also feel confused and fatigued throughout the first few hours of my day. Any insight would be appreciated... I will be seeing a doctor tommorow.
