Is there an oral treatment for syphilis after several recurrences?

38 -year-old man7 years ago
In May 2017 I was given a dose of penicillin to treat syphilis. The treatment did not work and the doctor gave me another dose in August 2017. I now have a rash near my private parts.

First, you should know that a reddening of the private parts is not necessarily a symptom of syphilis. Is that where the chancre was?

For your information, there are indeed oral treatments for syphilis. However, you should know that they are often less effective than penicillin injections. This is the reason why these treatments are kept as "second line".

I recommend that you go back to the doctor who prescribed the penicillin and discuss it together.
