What is Xylazine? It was created in the 70s as a veterinary anesthetic. As an analog of clonidine, it has similar effects as an alpha-2 agonist, leading to sedation, anesthesia, and euphoria in the CNS.

Recently, Xylazine has entered the drug supply, moreso in certain cities, but increasingly everywhere. It is often mixed with fentanyl as a cutting agent, and can also be used on its own. It may be called Tranq, Zombie Drug, or anestesia de caballo (horse anesthetic).

Let's go back to the basics. Syphilis is from an infection by the bacterium Treponema pallidum. Usually spread by sexual means, syphilis has three main stages of disease.
Primary infection usually presents as a papule that turns into a painless ulcer called a chancre.

Primary infection usually presents as a papule that turns into a painless ulcer called a chancre.

Time from inoculation to chancre usually is 10-90 days (21 days is most typical).
There is a rare variant where the patient can get many smaller ulcerations, which is called Follman balanitis.

FINALLY clinician’s have figured that the PSEUDOSCIENTIFIC term “squamoproliferative lesion” means nothing more than a proliferating squamous lesion 🤣

Squamoproliferative lesion was invented by some hotshot pathologist pretending its a diagnostic entity, but it actually means nothing more than an unspecified and unqualified proliferating squamous “lesion”.

This is a nevus simplex (aka salmon patch/stork bite/angel kiss). 👼🏻💋
They can worsen with crying and go away with time. They're usually on the forehead/eyelids and have feathery borders (vs. a port-wine stain). They're actually not nevi (moles) but capillary dilations.
