'''Chancroid''' is a sexually transmitted [[disease]] (''STD'') caused by [[bacteria]]. It is common in [[tropical]] countries but rare in other parts of the world. Chancroid is spread by sexual contact with an infected individual. The bacteria are more likely to invade the sexual [[organ]]s at the point of a injury, such as a small cut or scratch. The likelihood of transmission is greater if a person is very active sexually and does not practice personal hygiene. Any sexually active person can be infected with chancroid. It is more commonly seen in men than in women, particularly [[circumcision|uncircumcised]] males.
