I really need a second opinion as I’ve been on this forum for hours diagnosing myself lol. SO. I had sex about 10 days ago now. Yesterday I felt a little bit of a paper cut like feeling down there, and I looked to see what was going on and it appeared to have 2 very small paper cuts on my labia/vulva area. I then started freaking myself out and think I worked myself up into paranoia and didn’t sleep and now I’m feeling a bit sick? Anyways, the picture posted is what it looks like today. There’s honestly been no pain, doesn’t hurt to pee, touch it, no breaking of the sores, etc. NOTE: I have had this about 2 months ago and freaked out. The tears are basically in the same places. Last time I took a yeast infection pill and it cleared up. Idk I’m a bit worried but most of what I see online leads me to believe this isn’t herpes? Please help 😦image

      as its quite close to the opening of your vagina it could just be a sensitive spot when you have sex it tears slightly. Your best bet is to go and get it checked out but i wouldnt worry

    herpes can feel and look like a paper cut. not trying to freak you out, but getting this swabbed at the doc is your best bet.
