does syphilis go away - #26263
I am really concerned about my health right now because I've been having some strange symptoms. I started noticing these sores a few weeks ago, and they were super mild at first, just thought they were like canker sores or something. But they got worse and now I have a rash that’s kinda itchy and burning, and I can’t shake this weird feeling in my stomach. I finally went to get tested and found out I have syphilis. I have no idea how I contracted it, but I do remember having unprotected sex about a month or so ago. I guess that’s when it all started? Anyway, I know there are treatments, and my doc said that it's usually treatable, which is a relief. But, well, does syphilis go away completely with treatment? Like is it something that can just clear up, or will I deal with this forever? I’ve heard mixed things online about it and I'm freaking out a little. Does syphilis go away or is it more complicated than that? My doctor prescribed me penicillin and said to hold off on any sexual activity for a bit, but like… will I be okay in the long run? I really just want to be done with this and not have to worry about it again.
