    I never had a cut like that and i get alot of yeast infections its hard to say. Is there any possibility you cut urself while shaving

    When was the last time you shaved though as you would know if you cut yourself when shaving - if you shaved lets say a week ago and this has only today lets say shown up, that would not really be down to shaving....if that makes sense?

      Sorry I read you did shave recently - my apologies - OK so what could the cut be.....rough sex recently maybe , although tears from this normally present in the entrance of the vagina, what have you done recently do you think that may have caused this?

      I mean Herpes can present in cuts.......

      Can you see a Dr soon?

      with this virus im not sure honestly, but ive had sex cuts before and this isnt that. im not sure what it is but its healing now probably would be gone by tonight. another question ive heard of people having a outbreak for 2 weeks sometimes, over those 2 weeks does a new sore pop up every other day or its a group of sores that show up at the same time ?

      To be honest I have had cuts on my skin between the vagina and the bum (perineum) and sometimes its caused (for myself) from wiping too hard or stretching too far to insert a tampon so........

      I guess everyone is different with their outbreaks, each has to be treated on their own merit I guess, some get OB's for 1-2 days others longer, it just depends on how your body reacts to the virus.
