The hard chancre can be treated with penicillins, tetracyclines and macrolides.
The hard chancre is a characteristic clinical manifestation of stage I syphilis, usually appearing two weeks to four weeks after infection with the spirochete syphilis, and occurs on the external genitalia.
Benzathine penicillin is the preferred treatment for stage I syphilis for intramuscular injection. For those who are allergic to penicillin, tetracyclines or macrolides can also be used for treatment. Patients should pay attention to keep the local skin clean and dry during the treatment, avoid scratching, so as to avoid breakage and bacterial infection.
When the symptoms of chancre appear, it is recommended to go to the hospital for treatment in a timely manner, follow the doctor’s instructions to standardize the treatment, and use medication under the guidance of the doctor.
