Does balanoposthitis cause syphilis rash?

Patient's question:

Does balanoposthitis cause syphilis rash in sexual partners? How is the syphilis rash caused? Itchy when touching hot water, bathing is even worse. Is this the case?

Doctor's answer:

Syphilis is a sexually transmitted disease. Laboratory tests for syphilis are required to confirm the presence of this disease. If you have inflammation, it is unrelated to syphilis. It is recommended to use condoms during sexual activity to prevent the transmission of inflammation to the other person. In addition to treating balanitis, it is advised that patients pay attention to their diet in daily life and maintain a joyful mood to enhance their physical condition and slow down the recovery process.
