I don't know about syphillis...It could just be dry skin. You should go get checked if you're really worried

Hello!

Here is some information on your question:

if syphilis is not treated, the infection will progress through the primary, secondary, latent and perhaps teriary stages, described above. If an infected woman gets pregnant, her baby may get congenital syphilis. Treatment stops the infection, but if organ damage has already occurred--especially in tertiary syphilis--the damage cannot be repaired and serious health problems may continue.

Syphilis is caught by having sex with someone who has been infected with syphilis less than a year—i.E., someone with primary syphilis, secondary syphilis, or latent syphilis for less than a year. Latent syphilis more than a year old and tertiary syphilis can no longer be transmitted by sex. The syphilis bacteria is very fragile and dies rapidly outside the body, so the risk of nonsexual transmission is very low. Congenital syphilis is transmitted internally, from the blood of an infected woman directly to the baby in the womb.

Penicillin shots are the main treatment for syphilis. A single shot of long-acting penicillin usually is sufficient for primary or secondary syphilis. Infection for more than a year in duration, or infection of the nervous system, usually requires several doses of penicillin over a 3-week period.

Important: many common antibiotics do not work against syphilis. Never treat yourself with an antibiotic left over from another prescription.
