I have a female colleague who has been diagnosed with syphilis. Usually I am very close to her. Sometimes I will take what she eats. Today, let me share with you the symptoms of syphilis and rash.

Syphilitic rash

First: chancre is one of the hallmark symptoms of early syphilis. Chancre appears in penis, glans, coronal sulcus, prepuce, urethral orifice; labia, clitoris, cervix; anus, anal canal, etc. Can also be seen in the lips, tongue, breast, etc., hard chancre generally appears in 6-70 days after infection, hard chancre shape can be round or oval, often single, painless and itchless, sore surface is generally not broken, press up is hard, but once the occurrence of secondary infection, it may occur ulcer and damage.

Second, the damage often occurs in the vulva and sexual contact sites. In men, it is mostly near the glans, coronal groove and frenulum, the inner lobe of prepuce or penis, the root of penis, urethral orifice or urethra. The latter is easy to be misdiagnosed. Chancre is often complicated with prepuce edema. Lymphangitis can be seen in some patients on the back of penis, showing relatively hard linear damage. In women, chancre is more common in labia and clitoris, Urethral orifice, scrotum, especially in the cervix, easy to miss diagnosis, pudendal external hard chancre is more common in the lips, tongue, tonsils, fingers (medical staff can also be infected with finger chancre), breast, eyelids, ear.

Third: syphilis is a chronic, systemic sexually transmitted disease caused by Treponema pallidum. Early infectious, mainly invasion of skin and mucous membrane, often manifested as genital ulcer, lymphadenopathy and systemic rash, some patients may have no symptoms in the early stage; late destructive, almost can invade all organs of the body, often cause cardiovascular system and nervous system damage, even life-threatening. The disease is mainly transmitted through sexual contact, and a few are transmitted through blood transfusion and contaminated household appliances. The treatment of syphilis should follow the principle of early, regular, whole course treatment and regular follow-up.
