Patient's question:
At the connection of my penis to the testicles, there is a red and swollen bump. It feels a bit painful when touched. Hello, is this a chancre of syphilis?Doctor's answer:
The consideration is that the boils are caused by folliculitis, not chancre; chancre is an ulcer. Syphilis is primarily spread through sexual activity. If there are high-risk behaviors, a syphilis antibody test can be done to question the transmission of syphilis. In your case, you can apply erythromycin ointment externally for treatment. Avoid spicy foods and drinking beer in your diet. For testicular patients, timely treatment can reduce the incidence. If not treated promptly, it will affect your health condition. Therefore, patients should take medication according to symptoms and maintain a regular lifestyle in daily life to prevent prolonged sitting.
