How To Treat Syphilis?

Hello, I believe I may have Syphillis. I have a reddish pink spot on my scrotum in about an half an inch in diameter. I dont have the money to go to the doctor. Can you please help. It does not hurt but if I touch it or if it rubs against my clothes it seems to help. Please help!!!

Hello,

First of all, in syphilis, ulcers are painless. In your case these are painful, so it may not be syphilis.

But to confirm syphilis, we have to do blood test like RPR, VDRL. So, I will suggest you to review back here with detailed history or consult with Dermatologist.

If you diagnosed as syphilis, then you have to take Injection Benzathine penicillin 2.4 MU after dermatologist opinion and regular follow up.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Shyam B. Kale
