Hi doc, I am having sores on my genital shaft, anus and soles. I think I have a STD syphilis.In secondary stage. Are there any differential diagnosis. And what are the best treatment regimen for syphilis. Am 26 year old male. Have a smoking history of 7 years. A friend who is a doctor suggested me ceftriaxone 1000 mg i.v. Once daily for 7 days, azithromycin 500 mg bid 7 days, and cleaning with betadine. Is it a good treatment or penicillin is better.
