It usually begins within twenty-four or thirty-six hours after exposure, first as a red spot, but rapidly developing into an ulcer covered with thick yellowish pus. The period of development is about three or four days. iSometimes a week elapses from the time of exposure to the development of the sore, and occasionally a period of incubation is as long as ten days. A sore appearing within a few days, or a week, or even as late as ten days after the exposure is usually regarded as a chancroid. But in practice this is not a safe rule, for the reason that many venereal sores are of a mixed character. A hard or syphilitic chancre contracted two or three weeks ago, makes its appearance to-day. A soft chancre or chancroid contracted two or three days ago, makes its appearance to-day. The inoculations of both poisons take place at the one and same spot, the result is a mixed chancre; or if two sores appear the origin of one may be syphilitic, the other chancroidal. It is therefore difficult, if not impossible, in many cases to determine the character of the disease from the period of incubation or from the appearance or local characteristics of the chancre. A mixed chancre is a syphilitic chancre (a hard chancre), while its appearance may be precisely like that of the soft chancre or chancroid. The only safe plan is to regard all venereal sores as suspicious. But while this is true, treatment for syphilis should not be commenced before the appearance of secondary symptoms, for unless such symptoms appear it is impossible to determine that syphilis really exists in any case. The mixed chancre, as already stated, is essentially a syphilitic chancre, and the beginning of constitutional disease. ...
