As a medic, I never seen a patient with such a severe symptom like "flesh rotten on faces". Very lucky that I worked on era where syphilis is better treated.
My favorite Syphilis story is a patient account from Dr. Oliver Sacks, in The Man Who Mistook His Wife For A Hat. In it, an elderly woman in her 90s has neurosyphilis, but so far the only symptom is that she feels more energetic, bold and even flirtatious. The woman, quite happy with all this new energy, simply asked for the doctors to keep the disease from advancing so she wouldn't loose her newfound energy. Since the patient was already in her 90s, the doctors went along with it.
