Pinta is a human skin disease endemic to Mexico, Central America, and South America. It is caused by infection with a spirochete, Treponema carateum, which is morphologically and serologically indistinguishable from the organism that causes syphilis.
Pinta initially presents as a raised papule, followed by a generalized eruption of flat, reddened areas, and is followed by the development of bluish coloration and a subsequent loss of pigmentation. Unlike syphilis, it is transmitted by nonsexual skin contact, often between children living in conditions of poor hygiene.
