Another possible sign of syphilis during its second stage is patchy hair loss, known as syphilitic alopecia. This condition can result in small, round, and irregular bald patches on the scalp, eyebrows, or beard area. The hair loss may be temporary and resolve on its own, but it can be distressing for those affected.
While patchy hair loss can be caused by various factors, such as stress, nutritional deficiencies, or other medical conditions, it’s essential to consider syphilis as a potential cause if you’re experiencing other symptoms of the infection. Consult a healthcare professional for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment. (4)
