Erythematous scaly plaques and nodules on scalp

We describe a 45-year-old man who presented with erythematous scaly plaques and nodules on his scalp. In previously reported cases, there were only descriptions of nodules as well as tumors.

It is important to recognize and treat syphilis at an early stage.PMID:38478648 | DOI:10.5070/D329562412
