What STD causes boils?

There are some sexually transmitted infections and diseases (STIs/STDs) that can cause what might commonly be referred to as a boil or an ulcer. * Boils that occur as a result of an STD most often appear when someone contracts a sexually transmitted bacterial infection such as chancroid or syphilis. Both infections can cause very painful open sores in and around the genitals as well as on other areas of the body. In the case of syphilis, those boils are called chancres, and they can appear on the genitals, in the vagina, on the cervix, lips, mouth, breasts, or anus during the first stage of infection. Boils or ulcers from chancroid look similar to syphilis chancres, and can be painful and might produce a pus-like substance. * Sometimes, herpes (HSV), molluscum, or genital warts (HPV) is mistaken for the beginning stages of a boil or ulcer from chancroid or syphilis, because they can all result in bumps on the skin. * Chancroid and syphilis ulcers are usually painful and eventually they open up and become wet. Herpes lesions can be painful, but they are often smaller and clustered, and they don't open in the same way that a chancroid of syphilis ulcer might. Whereas molluscum and genital warts can cause bumps, but generally, they aren't painful or wet at all.
