i had these scratches a few hours after rough, dry sex. and everytime i have a yeast infection these little bumps appear near my vaginal opening and all over my vestibules (second picture and third picture). i read that yeast infections can make vestibular papillae enlarge but i'm not sure. no other symptoms. is this normal? also, the scratches have healed after 2 days. certainly an outbreak doesn't go by that quick? my cold sores take like a week. my worry is i have both oral and genital herpes. but ive been checked out by my gyno and she doesn't think so.

    most certainly not herpes, the small tears are probably from the rough intercourse, when you are not lubricated enough intercourse could cause friction which leads to tears which typically heal very fast.
