The early eruptions are generalized, superficial macular eruptions, later they are maculopapular or papular eruptions which are usually polymorphous and less often scaly, pustular or pigmented. Papular syphilid usually arise a little later than macular. The most common and the most easily recognized is the lenticular papular syphilid. These are frequently distributed on the face, trunk and flexures of arms and lower legs.
