    Hi taylor,

    The photo shows tiny superficial ulcers on the surface of the clitoris. Is this what you're referring to?

    TBH, it's difficult to be definitive without getting tested with Herpes DNA swabs taken 'fresh' from that area. Are you able to get this done soon? If not, monitor the situation, check if it recurs and then get tested.

    Rgds,

      Hello! i think it was just dead skin or something peeling off. Its now healing. Never turned into an ulcer/cut/lesion. I didn't experience any sort of pain just sore from the constant lifting of the hood. Here's an update picture. image

    hello! so when i saw this i was hoping that you were going to link your masturbation habits in with it to because this is the only time I get these!

    I don't know why but I really enjoy the friction from rubbing dry, so all pleasure books on "what to do to a woman's clit" goes out the window for me bc I don't like lube.

    When you were using your spit, I really don't think that was enough lube for the constant pressure and hard vibrations against your clitoris hood, or if you were doing it directly on it, for your glans.

    i figured that these were just skin lesions/friction marks from rubbing the unlined skin against whatever type of skin the glans is itself. It can hurt but you just need moisture and give the masturbation a break.

    I hope this helps anyone else!
