10. Treatment for Genital Ulcers
Although some genital ulcers can heal without treatment, it is important for patients to seek treatment as soon as possible, especially in sexually active individuals. This is because an ulcer provides an entry site for infections, including HIV. It is also advisable to avoid sexual intercourse until after treatment.
Treatment depends on the cause of the ulcers. For instance, if the cause is an STD, your doctor will prescribe an appropriate antiviral or antibiotic medication or ointment.
