Small blisters on the soles of the feet that itch and peel are not necessarily syphilis, but can also be caused by other diseases such as athlete’s foot and eczema.
Syphilis is a sexually transmitted disease, mainly caused by syphilis spirochete infection. Syphilis is mainly transmitted through sexual contact, mother-to-child transmission and blood transmission, and common symptoms of the disease include chancre, syphilis rash and flat warts.
Syphilis rash can be characterized by dry skin, papules, blisters or pustules, and flaky epidermis, but the rash usually has no obvious symptoms, so small blisters on the soles of the feet that itch and peel are not necessarily caused by syphilis.
In addition to syphilis, other diseases can also lead to patients with small blisters on the soles of the feet and itchy and peeling, such as dermatophyte infection caused by tinea pedis, a variety of internal and external factors caused by eczema. Patients should pay attention to strengthen the skin care, avoid scratching when itching, timely medical diagnosis, follow the doctor’s instructions to use targeted drugs.
It is recommended that people with small blisters on the soles of their feet and itchy and peeling skin should consult a doctor for examination in order to find, diagnose and treat early, so as not to delay the condition.
