it varies from person to person... some people never show symptoms at all.

i don't know but i would go to the doctor buddy and get checked out instead of being on here asking questions about it

Peek-A-Boo!
Syphilis develops in four stages, each with a different set of symptoms.
Primary stage

During the primary stage of syphilis, a sore (chancre) that is usually painless develops at the site where the bacteria entered the body. This commonly occurs within 3 weeks of exposure but can range from 10 to 90 days. A person is highly contagious during the primary stage.

* In men, a chancre often appears in the genital area, usually (but not always) on the penis. These sores are often painless.
* In women, chancres can develop on the outer genitals or on the inner part of the vagina. A chancre may go unnoticed if it occurs inside the vagina or at the opening to the uterus (cervix) because the sores are usually painless and are not easily visible.
* Swelling of the lymph nodes may occur near the area of the chancre.
* A chancre may also occur in an area of the body other than the genitals. When this occurs, the chancre is more likely to be inflamed and produce pus.
* The chancre lasts for 28 to 42 days, heals without treatment, and may leave a thin scar. However, just because the chancre has healed does not mean the syphilis is cured or that a person cannot pass the infection to others.

There are open sores, called chancres, which are painless. That's the problem, lots of people miss ever noticing them.
Sadly, some people have gone for years and years untreated, with syphillis, because of that. The bacteria attacks the nervous system, and progression is slow over years, but can end in insanity and death.
Dude, get thee to a doctor.
