Can't come to a conclusion about this. Advice appreciated

Posted , 3 users are following.

I have become used to getting sore bits around my vagina. I am very sweaty down there and I wear thongs and so a lot of the time I end up with sore skin which turns into sore. I am also really rough when shaving and usually find in the days that follow i develop sores which are on my bikini line. Slightly worried there may be more going on but having researched Genital Herpes i am also not fully convinced it's that but i can't seem to shake the thought. The image i have attached is my most recent sore. I shaved a few days ago then my skin was irritated and this sore appeared. Any advice is much appreciated.

    I should have said this is literally all i have. for about 1 day it can be a bit nippy to touch. doesn't ooze anything or appear to ulcerate. I don't have any issues urinating and i never get a sore on my vagina. always where my underwear runs. i am also really prone to trush, probably due to wearing tight clothing

      i never have open sores to check. i guess i was looking for opinions based on its appearance. they don't ulcerate or leak

    Does anyone else have any opinions? I have had them looked at by a nurse during my smear who said they were nothing to worry about and can't have them swabbed as they don't open up and leak. I was really just looking for opinions based on the appearance of the sore

    unfortunately from this photo it is almost impossible to trace the problem. it is a request that I make almost everyone to upload sharper images because it is not easy to diagnose something from an image especially if it is blurry and not very bright. try to make a new post with sharper images where the problem is clearly evident

      Thats understandable. That picture is with the flash on. The sore is very small and hard to get a good picture of.

      from this photo I can say that there is certainly no trace of genital herpes. keep me updated in the following days to see if it could lead to some other type of skin infection.

      from the first unclear pic i saw a vaginal discharge. was it just my impression or did I see right? in this case the diagnostic picture changes

      Sorry i should have said, that is E45 cream you see in the first picture. But i am prone to discharge, normally white odourless discharge and i do tend to get a few yeast infections but that you see is E45 cream

      Thank you. it's pretty much away. is there anything else that would cause little blisters like that in that area other than herpes? they are like blisters but dont ulcerate or leak anything

      probably they born like a little abrasion after waxing your delicate intimal area. try to figure out if they are born shortly after hair removal
