10 Symptoms of Syphilis

5. Genital Warts

Another symptom of secondary syphilis is condylomata lata, which is a skin condition that causes moist patches of skin to appear on and around the genitals. This impairment also affects the anus. The size and amount of these warts will vary, depending on the severity and progression of the disease that's causing them. The warts feel extremely itchy, and scratching them causes pain. Laser removal is a viable but expensive treatment option. Additionally, once a doctor has removed all warts, the patient is not supposed to wear anything under their waist for approximately one week, which can be difficult.
