Syphilis chancre?
Hello, I am new to this site. I have a problem and I am very stressed about it.
Today I discovered this thing on my groin area. I do not know what this is, I am afraid it might be a syphilis chancre. Does it look like one? I know that I must get tested but the test to be acurate must be made 3 weeks after the chancre appears.
I do not know how to post an image but I will add a link to the image here:

Thank you in advance and have a nice day!

You don't have to wait until 3 weeks after you get a sore to test. The test is more accurate the longer you wait, but you can still get a doctor to look at it and see if they think it's syphilis or not.
Your pic is really hard to tell what kind of sore it is, and no one online should be diagnosing you from a pic. Only a doctor who examines you and runs tests should do that.
Go see a doctor and get it checked. Let us know what happens.
