Chancroid | Symptoms & Signs | Diagnosis & Tests | Prevention & Expectations | Treatment & Monitoring

What are the treatments for the infection?

Antibiotics are used to treat chancroid. These include azithromycin, ceftriaxone, erythromycin, and ciprofloxacin.

What are the side effects of the treatments?

Antibiotics may cause stomach upset, rash, or allergic reactions.

What happens after treatment for the infection?

Improvement occurs within days of starting treatment. It is usually complete after 2 weeks. Relapse sometimes occurs but will usually respond to a second course of antibiotics. People with chancroid also should be tested for other STDs and treated as needed.

How is the infection monitored?

Any new or worsening symptoms should be reported to the healthcare provider.
