I have a sort of chancre.. what STI could it be ?


I've looked into it and from what I've seen it could be herpes or syphilis..I'm going to see a doctor tomorrow but I still want an opinion...
At first (Sunday) I thought I had a yeast infection because I was sore and had a sort of burning itchy sensation down there..During my shower I noticed 2 chancres on the inside of my inner labia, kind of across from each other. At first they kind of looked like a dark (almost black) scab, but they've gotten puffy and white since yesterday...
I also have the flu, but I don't think that's at all related..
I have looked into it even more, and I agree that herpes look a lot more like cuts. What I have is a spitting image of the pictures of syphilis I've seen.
I'm starting to think it's syphilis more and more, and I hope that's what it is!
I can't wait to see the doctor tomorrow!

Hmmm...well when i first contracted Herpes, i thought i had the flu, however the symptoms only lasted about 24 hours so i thought perhaps i was just run-down, i then began itching down there so i assumed i had a nasty yeast infection. after taking monistat, it just got worse...that's when i noticed a few bumps. i then went to the doctor, and she said it was herpes. i never had any black looking scabs though. mine look more like mosquito bites then when they puss over they look like small blisters. however, everyone is different. i have been lucky with the size and severity of my breakouts. i am not leaning toward syphilis here but the doctor will know best. good luck and god bless. i hope you feel better!  (+ info)

Possible babby girl name: Chancre?


Hello everyone! Husband prefers Slymenstra, but I'm not convinced.
Well I don't believe there's any call for such rude hatefulness. Just because it's not a name you enjoy doesn't mean you should call my babby a STD. And no, "Troll" is not something I wll name my babby!

You will NEVER be Slappy.... wannabe troll.  (+ info)

Can you get syphilis even if you're abstinent?


I have not had sex or had any other sexual contact with anyone now for almost an entire year, yet recently I got a sore on my penis that looks just like a syphilis chancre (I did some online research). Can you get syphilis without physical contact with another person? It started out as a pretty bad itch that I thought was jock itch, but ended up finally looking like a chancre a few days later.
----------

What Are the Symptoms?
Syphilis occurs in several different stages:

Primary Syphilis
In the first stage of syphilis, red, firm, and sometimes wet sores that don't hurt appear on the vagina, rectum, penis, or mouth. There is often just one sore, but there may be several. This type of sore is called a chancre (pronounced: shang-ker). Chancres appear on the part of the body where the spirochetes moved from one person to another. Someone with syphilis may also have swollen glands during this first stage.

Will braces make my mouth stay this way?


I just got braces 2 days ago.and my lips look like Angelina jolies lips. I don't like it, it looks swollen. I think it's cause the chancre sore made it swollen. What can I do about the sore ness. Will my lips go back to the original size. I feel ugly.
----------

When the swelling goes down, your lips will recede a bit.

But they won't go back all the way until well after you get them taken off. The metal is physically pushing against your lips, and you'll build up some layers to protect against the rough surface.

You'll have to wait until you get them taken off, and until those layers heal to have normal lips again.

Tough luck.  (+ info)
