Question 1

what does the syphilis pimple look like ?

Accepted Answer

Syphilitic chancre: Syphilis doesn't usually cause pimple-like problems. The initial sore of syphilis is an open ulcer called "chancre". Google it for pictures of typical chancres.

Question 2

please tell me, could a pimple be from syphilis?

Accepted Answer

No: Primary syphilis is usually a flat, hard, painless ulcer. Secondary syphilis can look like many things but not pimples.

Question 3

can bad face pimples be a sign of syphilis?

Accepted Answer

No: The skin lesions of syphilis are variable but will not be confined to the acne zones and will not produce pus.  If you are concerned that you may have syphilis, a cheap and reliable blood test is available from your physician.

Question 4

does a syphilis chancre contain puss/pops like a pimple?

Accepted Answer

No: Chancres don't appear as pimples. After a day or two as a red bump, it becomes a painless open sore. But regardless what it looks like, if you were possibly exposed to syphilis or any STD, get checked out by a doctor or clinic. Good luck!

Question 5

how long after transmission would a syphilis chancre appear and what does it look like? does it look like a hard pimple on the outside of the skin?

Accepted Answer

Yes, &amp; See doctor: If you have any concern about having syphilis, see your doctor as it is an easily treatable infection.

Question 6

hi dr. saw a bump on my shaft, yellow crust &pimple aspect, i popped it and pus and a white fluid followed by blood came. can syphilis start like that?

Accepted Answer

Not syphilis: Syphilis doesn't do this. No STD is a likely cause. Probably it's just a pimple or infected skin cyst. Herpes might be possible, but unlikely. If the problem continues or recurs, see a doctor to be safe.

Question 7

dr how will i know if i am infected with syphilis without testing.i had protected sex with escort 18 months back & didn't have any health issue till now.i had itching palms which my dr told its because of dust allergy,pimples on my back from 5yrs?

Accepted Answer

: What is your reason to not get tested? A simple blood test can settle the issue. Untreated syphilis can have serious consequences years after infection. Get tested.

Question 8

hi there,

i dry kissed a random woman at a club and 10 days later a small pimple like sore showed up on my lip. could it be a chancre syphilis?

Accepted Answer

Not syphilis: Syphilis is rare in heterosexuals in Canada, especially in the Vancouver area; is rarely transmitted by kissing, especially dry kissing; and a chancre would not appear as a pimple-like sore. You might just have a pimple, or maybe oral herpes (cold sore). Whatever it is, you didn't catch it from the kiss.

Question 9
