That's good though. I'm not really sure what it is but just looks to me to be a cut or something with a little infection.

i hope so. it was a bump when i first felt it that didnt hurt and then of course i picked at it not knowing what it was. it hurts when its touched or when i wipe but nothing else. hoping it just goes away soon. of course when i google it it says vulvar cancer and other scary stuff

my dr even in the beginning had a low suspicion that it was herpes but she still cultured it and it came back negative. im not sure what it is because at first it didnt hurt and i picked at it it seems to be getting better. might just be irritation for both of us i hope

i swear some doctors dont listen. they get stuck on it being one thing and dont even think that it could be other things. is yours looking any better yet?
