Painless Chancres-all the Std Tests, No Answers! Posted: 10-14-05 01:08am
About 3 days after a sexual encounter, I
had 4 chancres which looked like syphilis,
no blister and circular scattered at the
base of the under shaft. It was painless
and shallow in the skin. I applied
neosporin and they went away in a week. A
few days later it came back in various
other areas on the shaft. Its stages
were:
1. A red irritated dot on skin 2.
Progressed to a dark-red circular scabbish
crackling of the skin, looked like
syphilis 3. Slow healing rate, three
weeks later, as it tries to heal and skin
scales off, the scar remains and is
dark-red with minor "pinhole" cracks in
it.
Three weeks later I went to the doctor,
took a syphilis test, with normal results.
I took doxycycline for a week as it
seemed to be trying to heal, and
eventually the dark scars turned to normal
skin. A week later the last chancre that
formed before came back, so I immediatly
took a 2 week doxycycline med and got a
herpes test. The test came back normal
and after the 2 week treatment, they still
remain and now over three weeks my under
shaft has a 3/4 inch diameter dark-red
circle of seemingly scar tissue with
little pin holes in them. Ive stopped
treating the problem and it seems to be
healing at a rediculously slow pace,
almost like it stopped. When I pour
alcohol on it, its has a 8 second delay
before I feel a slight pain. I think
another patch of it is forming on the
shaft and I am getting fed up. Anyone
have any experience with such problems?
Since the 3 ive seen doctors have no
answers for me and are suggesting I have a
biopsy (removed skin analysis....I dont
want them carving into my tool leaving
deep scars)
