If you came in contact with syphilis rash or cancer would you develope rash or sore at spot of contact or could it appear other places?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
If skin is broken: contact with syphilitic lesion/ulcer could result in infection. Cancer not likely to spread by contact. Viruses and bacteria yes, if broken/cut skin.
