Hair Loss
While there are many other symptoms of syphilis such as skin rashes, hair loss is one of the more common ones to watch out for. Syphilis can cause your hair to fall out in small patches all over your body.
In addition to causing hair loss, syphilis also damages hair follicles, making them more susceptible to other problems. It’s important to note that you can have syphilis without experiencing any symptoms. You may only know you have it if you get tested for it.
Hair loss can also be a symptom for women who have contracted syphilis; common symptoms include vaginal discharge or sores that do not heal after several weeks. However, it is important to note that some women experience no symptoms.
