Rash Decoded: Allergy or Syphilis?
Syphilis is a chronic sexually transmitted infection (“STI”) or sexually transmitted disease (“STD”) caused by the bacterium Treponema pallidum. It is mainly spread through sexual contact and/or exposure to infectious sores, bodily fluids, contaminated blood or mucous. But because symptoms of syphilis can sometimes resemble an allergic reaction, some individuals may mistakenly believe they have an allergy instead.
