    hi ali what does these cuts look like and how long ago have you gotten them?

    and can you upload a photo of the cuts? so that it will be easier to diagnose.

    best regards.

    looks very similar to labia fissures. usually these takes up to 10 days to fully heal.. I would recommend you wear a pad for the first several days to help draw any blood away from the cut and keep the area clean but since you are currently menstruating I guest you've currently doing that already.

    best regards

    there are different factors that can cause it but the main culprits are skin conditions like lichen sclerosis or when the vulvar skin becomes thin, wrinkled which causes split or fissure.
