Primary syphilis symptoms include:
Chancre -- a small, painless open sore or ulcer on the genitals, mouth, skin, or rectum that heals by itself in 3 - 6 weeks Enlarged lymph nodes in the area containing the chancre
The bacteria continue to multiply in the body, but there are few symptoms until the second stage.
Secondary syphilis symptoms include:
A skin rash (the most common symptom), which often involves the palms of the hands and soles of the feet. Sores called mucous patches may develop in or around the mouth, vagina, or penis. Moist, warty patches may develop in the genitals or skin folds. These are called condylomata lata. Other symptoms, such as fever, general ill feeling, loss of appetite, muscle aches, joint pain, enlarged lymph nodes, vision changes, and hair loss may occur.
Symptoms of tertiary syphilis depend on which organs have been affected. They vary widely and are difficult to diagnose. Symptoms of tertiary syphilis include:
Cardiovascular syphilis, which affects the aorta of the heart and causes aneurysms or valve disease Central nervous system disorders (neurosyphilis) Tumors of skin, bones, or liver (gumma)
