Hello, im not sure if it syphillis or a wound that is healing due to condom latex or over-scratching. but is the chancre peelable? like how normal wounds look?

If your partner or partners do not have syphilis you wont get it specially if you wear a condom. Keep the wound clean and let it heal. Do not peel or scratch. You can use OTC antibiotic ointment. If in doubt about your partners status go have a test done for STD from a clinic or your MD
