Help I don’t know what the problem is

Earlier today my vagina was super itchy and I scratched a good amount throughout the day, so I might have caused it? I had hair all over but shaved it off because before I did that, the skin looked flaky and dry, so I took a shower to shave and to get a better look at things and then I saw what looks like a bunch of cuts. I am not itchy right now and I put some neosporin on the parts that are cut open. I don't know what is wrong though. image

    i have the same thing. the mroe i scratch the worse it gets and its really itchy at times. i think its thrush. do u have discharge?this looks similar to mine they heal very quickly but as soon as i scratcj more appear. i actually watched whilst i scratched cos i was so confused and as i scratched the skin broke and bled so i think its the scratching causing it. try avoid scratching as much as poss as mines got really bad from scratching so much

      thats the thing my discharge seems normal. the only thing that i forgot to mention earlier was that sex was painful. like it felt like pouring rubbing alcohol on an open wound in my vagina lol. isnt thrush a yeast infection?? like isnt there also a way to test it at a cvs or walgreens over the counter without having to go to a doctor?

      im from uk so not sure but would get test for yeast infec or even take over counter medication. i think i have yeast infec too but i am always scared is herpes but i get yeast infecs a lot and think it is scratching that causes cut skin as when i dont scratch it heals and is fine.
