Gonorrhea: I am curious about the sixteen years. Disseminated gonorrhea attacks the joints and the brain. But, untreated gonorrhea can persist for some time.

It can: If it was not treated initially then the infecton caused by nesseria can disseminate to most areas of the body and cause infections. I see no reason why you could not get a bullae or papule there. Best to check this with infectious disease physician.
