A member asked:

How long does syphlis canker sore last?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Awhile: If it is really a from syphilis, it will go away and come back again. It is easily treated with antibiotics. Just because it goes away, doesn't mean it is gone. It must be treated! see your family practice dr asap.
