    Hi pooh,

    I don't think there's any doubt that the pictures show multiple genital ulcers on both labia. The question is what's causing them? The most likely cause in the West is genital herpes, so el22152 is correct in raising this as a likely diagnosis. To prove it, you should try to get your GP/doctor to take a herpes DNA swab from the ulcer/s.

    It's unlikely that candida would cause genital ulceration- you might develop scratch marks or small cuts (from your sharp fingernails) from scratching the vulva, but not the type of ulcers seen in the photos.
