A member asked:
Hi are syphilis chancres found more commonly internally or externally? do lymph nodes swell where the chancre forms? thanks in advance?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Usually external and easily seen, but chancres can occur internally e.g. in the rectum or vagina. Usually there is regional lymph node inflammation, but not always.
