A member asked:
If you have a sore that looks like chancre in your pubic area, is it syphilis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
A concern: Did you come into contact with someone who has syphilis. If the chancre is painless then it could be it. Would get it checked out and tested as it is easily treated.
