Hi dr's,is it true that a syphilis chancre can look a bit like an ingrown hair? could a syphilis chancre found on a males penis look just like pink soreness rather than an actual sore itself? almost like a sensitive patch? thank you?

No it does not look like an ingrowing hair. It is a superficial ulcer and is painless.
