Middle aged overweight man with obvious problems. His feet are cracked, blistered and he has 3 infected toenails. Has seeping sores in his wrists and under hsi arms. His gums are bleeding. Has been greatly confused over the past several months and has episodes of ranting and raving. He reports of feeling crazy and is scared. He also mentioned about his past sexual exploits. Without running tests on him and based on the info given, doesn't it sound like syphyilis?

It could be, but it could also be skin related stuff from diabetes, a fungal infection, etc.
Is he under care of a doctor? He sounds like he needs to be.
