When looking for pictures of STDs on google or any other search engine, you’re bound to come across incredibly graphic, disgusting, and down right scary pictures of STDs.
While these pictures are sometimes real depictions of specific STDs, they are often the very worst case scenarios and can be meant to scare people into abstinence.
This serves absolutely no purpose when you think you might have something and would like to compare your physical symptoms to more realistic photos of first occurrences of STDs in people who are not immunocompromised (a lot of the gruesome photos you come across are from people who have additional medical conditions and as a result, have much worse STD symptoms).
So, The STD Project has scoured the web yet again and has found the most reputable resources for Syphilis pictures. These images of Syphilis come from dermatologist’s websites or other similarly reputable locations, include multiple Syphilis symptom severities, and also incorporate different skin types, symptom locations, and stages of Syphilis.
While The STD Project STRONGLY encourages getting tested (find STD testing centers near you) and discourages diagnosing or treating oneself via pictures alone (Syphilis pictures disclaimer), we realize the desire to compare one’s own symptoms with those of others in hopes of narrowing the possibilities.
Remember, the most common STD symptom is NO symptom at all; so, if you find your symptoms do not match any of the Syphilis images below, this does NOT mean you are STD free and you should be tested as soon as possible to avoid complications of untreated STDs.
Furthermore, if you’ve engaged in ANY sexual activity, you are at risk of contracting or transmitting an STD (see this list of sexual activities that put you at risk for contracting an STD).
Without further ado, happy photo hunting and may the force against Syphilis be with you!

Hi ette –
There could be a myriad of reasons why you’re unable to get pregnant again not necessarily related to a treated or untreated STD. Have you seen a healthcare provider yet? That should be your first step – if you do not have insurance, almost all of the links here: http://www.thestdproject.com/std-resources/std-testing-centers/ provide additional services aside from just STD testing – they are generally free or very low-cost and can be income-based.
Best of luck to you and your hopes for another pregnancy!
