History and Symptoms

Symptoms can occur 1 to 12 weeks after coming in contact with the bacteria that cause the disease.

  • About half of infected men and women have sores in the anal area.
  • Small, beefy-red bumps appear on the genitals or around the anus.
  • The skin gradually wears away, and the bumps turn into raised, beefy-red, velvety nodules called granulation tissue. They are usually painless, but they bleed easily if injured.
  • The disease slowly spreads and destroys genital tissue.
  • Tissue damage may spread to the area where the legs meet the torso. This area is called the inguinal folds.
  • The genitals and the skin around them lose skin color.
  • In its early stages, it may be hard to tell the difference between donovanosis and chancroid.
  • In the later stages, donovanosis may look like advanced genital cancers, lymphogranuloma venereum, and anogenital cutaneous amebiasis.
