The initial symptoms of syphilis can appear any time from 10 days to three months after you have been exposed to the condition.
The most common STD symptoms is the appearance of a small, painless sore or chancre. The sore will appear on the part of your body where the infection was transmitted, typically your genitals, rectum, tongue or lips. Most people only have one chancre, but some people have more.
You may also experience swelling in your lymph glands (small bean-shaped organs that are found throughout the body, such as in the neck, armpit or the groin.)
As a chancre is painless and may be overlooked, the condition can be transmitted without realizing there is an infection.
The chancre will then disappear within three to six weeks and if the condition is not treated, syphilis will move into its second stage.
Only from the doctor after examining you and lab testing will you get a correct diagnosis.
