Tiny cut could be herpes?
Posted , 3 users are following.
I know the picture is very blurry but the cut is so tiny its hardly noticeable, I really had to spread the skin in order for it to show up. I'm prone to cuts down there and I've went to the doctors for them and they said everything looks normal. I decided to take matters into my own hands and get blood work done because every doctor I go to says they don't think its anything serious, I haven't gotten them swabbed because by the time I get to the doctors the cuts have healed. I've gotten cuts like this that appear out of no where ever since I was little and before I was sexually active. Also the picture glare makes it look like there's two cuts or cuts surrounding the area, but I can assure you its just the one. Also the picture makes it look almost like a sore or ulcer like- the cut is small and linear and appears that way because I had to spread the skin.

Heres another picture, I had to stretch the skin so its visible, the cut is on one of the folds/wrinkles on the skin I've also noticed the skin is kinda gray/silvery in that area?

hi Lizette this does not resemble herpes. i think what your doctor said was right about it not being serious.

Okay, before this I had two deeper cuts and those are the ones she looked at. They were linear also. I'm waiting on my blood work to come back and I'll make another appointment to see what I can do.

Hi lizette, are they stingy or itchy at all? it may be a mild case of lichen shclerosus... this is not a sexually transmitted infection and children can even suffer from it too. im sure you ask your doc for a biopsy and some steroid creams. hope this helps.

Just a tiny bit, I put aquaphor on it and it seemed to help a lot. I'm waiting for the blood work to come back and then I'll try to make an appointment! Thanks for your input!
