    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Syphilology

    Background:

    • Secondary syphilis can present with diverse mucocutaneous manifestations.
    • Acneiform eruptions are an uncommon but recognized presentation of secondary syphilis.

    Observation:

    • A patient exhibited a generalized acne-like rash affecting the trunk, extremities, and face.
    • Skin biopsy and serologic tests were performed for diagnostic evaluation.

    Findings:

    • Histopathological examination of the skin biopsy confirmed syphilis.
    • Positive serologic tests further supported the diagnosis of syphilis.

    Implications:

    • This case underscores the importance of considering syphilis in the differential diagnosis of acneiform eruptions.
  • Physicians should maintain a high index of suspicion for secondary syphilis presenting with atypical dermatological signs.
