Syphilis is a chronic infectious disease caused by syphilis spirochete infection. Clinically, it is divided into stage I syphilis, stage II syphilis and stage III syphilis.
1. Stage I syphilis: Stage I syphilis usually develops about 2 to 4 weeks after infection, and there are usually no systemic symptoms, and the manifestations are mainly chancre and enlarged lymph nodes. The chancre initially manifests itself as a small erythema on the external genitalia or perianal area, which is mostly seen on the labia, perineum, etc., and then painless ulcers are gradually formed, and the enlarged lymph nodes are usually manifested by painless enlargement of the lymph nodes in the inguinal region or in the vicinity of the affected area.
2. Second-stage syphilis: second-stage syphilis is characterized by syphilis rash, which can occur all over the skin and mucous membranes, manifesting as red or reddish-brown papules, blotches, plaques, etc. If the syphilis spreads to the whole body, the patient will have to pay more attention to it. If the syphilis spreads to the whole body, patients will have other symptoms, such as patchy hair loss.
