Does syphilis transmits through touching

Hello doctor, my friend had syphilis and I was'nt aware until he got it tested and I accidentally touched his rashes with my hand. I am straight. Just confused because most people on net claiming that syphilis transmits through skin to skin contact. Can you clarify the doubt please who ever is seeing this question. 🙂 Thanks you in advance.
