There are no genital ulcers

This symptom indicates the absence of ulcers or sores on the genital area. It helps in differentiating the condition from other diseases that might cause genital ulcers, such as certain sexually transmitted infections (e.g., herpes simplex virus) or systemic conditions like Behçet’s disease. The lack of genital ulcers points to a condition that is localized to other parts of the body, such as the mouth in the case of aphthous stomatitis.
