I’m very scared and worrying myself to death. Pictures included.

I tend to get cuts down there pretty often, I usually wear lace thongs or underwear. I get tested often but for some reason I never got a herpes test done. Once I had a cut down there and the doctor looked at it and she said it was normal and nothing to worry about. Lately I noticed that it burns when I have sex (not sure if its from lack of lubrication or just rough in general) and then after I have sex I pee and it also burns, last time I had sex was about 5 days ago- I don't see my partner often and he is bigger so could that be it? I'm a hypochondriac so I check things often and I noticed I had small sores/cuts down there. I'm just asking for advice since none of y'all are doctors and cant diagnose me. I'm going to order a at home STD kit but I saw that swabbing and blood tests can come back different. I'm throwing up freaking myself out. i wouldn't have noticed these if I didn't look. imageimage

      @daniele3737 No I haven't gotten anything, not even swollen lymph nodes. I'm thinking a fissure? But my anxiety is telling me worse. I might wait a little to see if it'll get better and if not I'll go to the doctor. Thank you for your reply!

    don't wait, never wait, the moment you find something get checked. This is why a lot of ppl end up worse than if they were to get checked in the first place. doesn't look like herpes but just get tested to be sure

      Ive already had cuts like this before and the doctor that checked on them at that time said it looked like fissures- thats why I want to wait. Plus I definitely think i irritated by looking at it last night since it was very red and swollen. Now, I don't notice anything. Thanks for your reply!
