Symptoms
Many people do not have symptoms for years. Symptoms may include a single sore (can also be multiple sores). Other symptoms may include a skin rash, rough, red or brown spots on palms of hands and bottoms of feet, fever, swollen lymph glands, sore throat, hair loss, headaches, weight loss, muscle aches, and fatigue. There are also more serious symptoms that occur in people who have had syphilis for many years. Talk to a health care provider if you would like to learn about these symptoms.
