    second stage of syphilis with rashes and mucous membrane lesions

    Secondary Syphilis, also known as the secondary stage of syphilis, is a phase of the sexually transmitted infection caused by the bacterium Treponema pallidum. This stage typically occurs weeks to months after the initial infection and is characterized by symptoms such as skin rashes, mucous membrane lesions, and flu-like symptoms. It is highly infectious during this period and can affect multiple organ systems, making early diagnosis and treatment crucial to prevent further complications.

Combining PPAR-GAMMA agonists with retinoids could improve treatments for conditions like Lichen Planopilaris.
