What does syphilis look like

Symptom 1: the symptoms of syphilis at each stage are different. At the initial stage of syphilis, the symptoms are not obvious, but the patients feel very uncomfortable. The symptoms of primary syphilis are hard chancre. That is to say, erythema, infiltration, nodule and quick damage occur in vulva, forming painless and itchless ulcer. The base and periphery are relatively hard, accompanied by swelling of inguinal lymph nodes. Most of the patients occurred in glans and coronal sulcus.

Symptom 2: secondary syphilis is characterized by pleomorphic rash, which is often symmetrically distributed on the skin of the trunk and the flexed side of the extremities. Red or purplish red macular rash is smooth or with scales. It is not itchy or painful. The lymph nodes of the whole body are often slightly enlarged, but there is no tenderness. Some patients have flat wet eczema with moist surface around the external genitalia or anus.

Symptom 3: skin and mucous membrane damage in patients with stage III syphilis, typical lesions are nodular syphilid and gumma. The nervous system, heart blood system, liver, spleen and bone can all have pathological changes, which seriously affect the function of various organs, resulting in disability and even loss of life.

matters needing attention

Treponema pallidum enters the human body from the damaged part of the body. It first invades the lymphatic space of the skin, enters the lymph nodes on all sides within a few hours, and then enters the blood circulation of the whole body after 2-3 days. About 3 weeks after the hidden period, male syphilis symptoms will occur. The initial damage of melatonin will occur at the place where Treponema pallidum invades, which is called hard chancre.
