    I actually have sores in the same area that started out looking like a tear. I took antibiotics for strep throat and noticed the "tear" a few says later after having sex and peeing. The tear turned into a sore and then more popped up ( you can see on my page) I go tomorrow to the OBGYN for an exam and testing, I will let you know what they tell me. I did go to an urgent care first and she told me they are yeast sores from an agressive yeast infection.

      specifically ask for a herpes swab test if you still have open sores. HSV testing is not advised or on a regular sti panel due to the stigma. Sadly the doctors will run you around a tree and try to explain it with every other diagnosis before telling a patient that the herpes test has come back positive.
