Pink tertiary rash is one of the typical elements of a rash in neurosyphilis (antipsychic rash, from the Greek psyche - soul + syphilis - disease, “mental illness” In the modern International Classification of Diseases, tenth revision, it is classified as erythematous rash, unspecified, code L03.9).
Synonyms: erythremia, erythrasma, rosacea, rubeolla, rash herpetiformis, roseolosis, some smallpox-like, etc. Another name is Scar (or, as neurologists call it, serous rubeosis.) The disease is called “triple” roseola. Triple means that the color of the rash can be defined as:
- red, since the elements are pink-red; - white and pale, because the elements are very pale, therefore, similar to the symptom of whitening skin.
Roseola syphilitica tertiary
Roseola syphilitica tertiary is one of the most common venereal skin diseases caused by Treponema. This infectious disease is transmitted from a sick person through the blood and causes the formation of spots on the skin or mucous membranes.
Symptoms of roseola syphilitic tertiary
* Until the rash appears on the body, there are no visible signs of infection. * The appearance of rashes takes several weeks, usually no more than 5 weeks after infection. * Rashes on the body resemble small round spots of red color, which can merge into large spots. The size of the spots usually does not exceed 5 mm in diameter. * The rash most often appears on the torso and arms, but less often on the legs or face.
Without adequate treatment or preventive measures, the infection can lead to serious consequences for the body's health. To avoid complications, it is necessary to seek medical help from a venereologist as soon as possible.
Treatment of tertiary syphilitic roseoda depends on the stage of the disease and severity. Typically, your doctor will prescribe antibiotic treatment along with antihistamines, which can reduce the risk of allergies and other side effects.
