Hi
Thank you for asking HCM
I have gone through your query. Chancre sore is due to primary syphilis. Do you had any unprotected sexual intercourse. If you send a picture then it will be more helpful in identifying. Dark field microscopy from the lesion will help to confirm it. If it is that then 1 shot of penicillin G or doxycycline for 1 week orally will be helpful to eradicate infection and sore.
Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
