Syphilis or Herpes?!


about a week ago i noticed a scab like Ulcer on my pubic region and i noticed something wasnt right so i got some Antibiotics (Doxycycline) and have been taking them for about 8 days now. its like one second it looks like its clearing up then it gets worse idk what it is i thought it could be Syphilis but im worried its Herpes, plz help!

u need to get tested for both before the blisters dry up

doxycycline wont clear it that

what happens if they dry up?

a swab is more reliable test and needs doing before they dry up

or u will require a blood test which may not be as accurate

it looks more like herpes but it could be either.

im just wondering why u used doxycycline to treat it if was syphilis primary stage syphilis is treated with penicillin injection but looks more like herpes u should stop taking the doxycycline self treating is not a good idea

if you’re allergic to Penicillin like i am the secondary treatment is 100mg Doxycylcine twice a day

have you been tested for syphilis? that would be a step in the right direction

they usually give azithromycin u need to test for both u should go to sexual health clinic

syphilis causes a painless ulcer about 1/2 cm in size as its primary lesion herpes is usually very painful

do u have any rash on your hands and feet ?

no rashes, but none if the sores hurt unless i have certain type of clothes on

Did you get results?
