This patient presented with a secondary syphilitic rash covering his back representing the systemic spread of the Treponema pallidum bacteria.

These papulosquamous lesions often appear as rough, red, or reddish brown spots that usually form on the palms of the hands, soles of the feet, the chest and back, but can manifest upon other regions of the body.
