Pictures of STIs/STDs
When looking for pictures of STIs/STDs on google or any other search engine, you’re bound to come across incredibly graphic, disgusting, and down right scary pictures of STDs.
While these pictures are sometimes real depictions of specific STIs/STDs, they are often the very worst case scenarios and can be meant to scare people into abstinence.
This serves absolutely no purpose when you think you might have something and would like to compare your physical symptoms to more realistic photos of first occurrences of STIs/STDs in people who are not immunocompromised (a lot of the gruesome pictures of STDs you come across are from people who have additional medical conditions, and, as a result, have much worse STD symptoms).

So, The STI Project has scoured the web yet again and has found the most reputable resources for chancroid pictures. These images of chancroid come from dermatologist’s websites or other similarly authoritative locations, include multiple chancroid symptom severities, and also incorporate different skin types, symptom locations, and stages of chancroid.
While The STI Project STRONGLY encourages getting tested and discourages diagnosing or treating oneself via pictures alone (chancroid pictures disclaimer), we realize the desire to compare one’s own symptoms with those of others in hopes of narrowing the possibilities. Maybe all of this is new to you; that’s ok – it’s not always easy to know if you should get STD testing done.
Remember, the most common STI/STD symptom is NO symptom at all; so, if you find your symptoms do not match any of the chancroid images below, this does NOT mean you are STI negative and you should be tested as soon as possible to avoid complications of untreated STDs.
Furthermore, if you’ve engaged in ANY partnered sexual activity, you are at risk of contracting or transmitting an STI/STD (see this list of sexual activities that put you at risk for contracting an STD).
Without further ado, happy photo hunting! 😉
