A chancre is the initial sore or lesion of primary syphilis. It occurs at the site where you were infected. These sores usually do not hurt and will go away by themselves even without treatment. THIS DOES NOT MEAN THAT THE SYPHILIS IS GONE-ONLY THE SORE! You will still need to be treated as well as your sexual partners.
