Hello,
Since the ulcers have been ruled out for syphilis and herpes, we need to do a biopsy of the ulcers and culture sensitivity to confirm the diagnosis. It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your dermatologist. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
