When is it worth getting checked? Any genital sore or ulcer that does not heal, changes in appearance, or bleeds deserves attention, since it is important to distinguish it from other causes.
Who treats it? Granuloma inguinale can be evaluated in dermatology, general surgery, or oncology depending on the characteristics of the lesions. Seeing a professional promptly allows for a proper evaluation and guidance on the next steps.
