My friend told me she knew a girl that may have it and also it can make them gain weight...?!?!?!
No...it may or may not cause a sore or an ulcer at the infection site...and then it can stay in the body for a long time without any symptoms. The final stages, however, are very serious, as syphilis invades the nervous system, and the brain....(this can be as long as 30 years after the intial infection).
There are many possiblie signs of syphilis, but acne and weight are not among them.

Thanks for the great advice. I already know the symptoms of this disease. I just wasn't sure if it caused acne lol...and God no I don't have syphilis!!
If you have syphilis you need to get treated ASAP, if your acne goes away then theres your answer. If not sorry I guess you just have acne.
Technically no, but the syphillis rash can look like acne. So to answer your question, basically yes.
