A member asked:

Please tell me, could the syphillis chancre be found on the shaft of the penis and the second stage rash be found on the inner thigh legs?

Yes: The chancre of primary syphilis occurs at the site of infection, usually the genitalia. The rash of secondary syphilis could be in other areas such as mucous membranes like the mouth, or the skin fold (intertriginous areas), or the palms and soles.
