chancre
Painless venereal sore
A chancre is a painless ulcer, typically appearing on the genitals, that marks the first stage of syphilis infection.
The sore develops at the site where the bacteria entered the body and usually heals on its own within weeks—though the infection continues if untreated.
The doctor identified the lesion as a chancre.
