After urinating and feeling a burning sensation i look down there and seen three cuts 3 days ago. It healed in two days. Now i see another cut that just appeared today. i haven't seen any bumps nor is it itchy. !Ive been researching everything and want to cry. I'm so scared. I included a picture to see if you guys could figure out whether it was Herpes or what. Please help me. I'm so scared.

    This doesn't really look like herpes, though of course you should go to the doctor to have things checked out. Herpes can appear as paper cut type lesions, but even then they wouldn't typically resolve so quickly. This looks more like dry skin that has cracked, from wiping too hard, or as a result of hormonal changes. Take a deep breath and stay off of Google, it will drive you insane. Make an appointment with your OB, but I would be quite surprised to learn what you have going on is herpes. Lastly, keep in mind that herpes isn't the end of the world. It's very manageable, you can have a completely normal and fulfilling sex life, so there's just no need to panic.
